Q. Consider the following statements regarding India's industrial sector:

1. Industry contributes about 25–30% of India's GDP, with manufacturing alone around 16–17%.
2. Despite initiatives like Make in India, manufacturing's share of GDP has remained largely stagnant for decades.
3. Construction accounts for nearly 8% of GDP and is a major source of employment.
4. Since 1991, the share of public sector enterprises in industries like telecom and aviation has increased significantly.

Which of the above statements is / are correct?
Answer: Only 1, 2 and 3
Notes: Industry contributes about one-fourth of India's GDP, with manufacturing steady at 16–17% for decades despite efforts like Make in India. Construction adds nearly 8% to GDP and offers substantial employment. Post-1991 reforms reduced—not increased—the public sector's role in sectors like telecom and aviation. Thus, statements 1, 2, and 3 are correct; statement 4 is incorrect.
