The first section in chapter 2 of the NCERT Class X Text book in Economics - 'Understanding Economic development' is 'Notes for teachers'. This section explains the concept of sectors of an economy, what kind of activities/discussions with students can be carried out for helping them gain an understanding.
*The first section in chapter 2 of the NCERT Class X Text book in Economics - 'Understanding Economic development' is 'Notes for teachers'. This section explains the concept of sectors of an economy, what kind of activities/discussions with students can be carried out for helping them gain an understanding.
*The NCERT chapter provides a deeper explanation of the three sectors. It gives 'micro case studies' of people to help get an easier and better understanding of the sectoral classifications of the economy. For instance the challenges/problems of the agricultural sector is explained lcucidly giving the example of a woman-led household working on a small piece of un-irrigated land. Lakshmi and her family struggle on a small piece of land and grow one crop during the year. The case shows how by providing irrigation facilities, credit facilities, storage facilities etc, the Government can help her improve her agricultural practice, growing more crops during the year, storing and selling when prices are good etc. Such micro case studies can help student understand easier compared to third person / generic / macro statements.

*The classification in the NCERT books is clearer, it explains three ways of classifying (which is also shown in the concept map). The Karnataka text book deals with the ownership classification (public sector and private sector) within the discussions on the secondary sector (Industrial sector), however in the NCERT book, ownership is shown as a third way of classifying.
* The sections are sequenced well, at the ending of a section, the next section is introduced in a logical manner.
*The NCERT chapter has lots of pictures and drawings which can help in easier understanding of the text.
*The questions at the end of the chapter are also useful to read, the 'pick the odd one out' can be very useful in helping teacher identify if the student has understood the issues, by asking for an explanation of choosing one as the 'odd item'.
*The NCERT chapter also has useful tables/graphs (bar graphs) which give useful insights on the extent and growth of the different sectors in Indian economy
*Many project ideas suggested in the NCERT text book can help students understand the sectoral classification of the Indian economy
This NCERT chapter is a MUST READ for teachers before they prepare their lesson plan.

Economic & Political Weekly Supplement EPW, June 29, 2013. vol xlviII nos 26 & 27 - "The Stunted Structural Transformation of the Indian Economy Agriculture, Manufacturing and the Rural Non-Farm Sector" by Hans P Binswanger-Mkhize
Excerpt
"India’s economy has accelerated sharply since the late 1980s, but agriculture has not. The rural population and
labour force continue to rise, and rural-urban migration remains slow. Despite a rising labour productivity
differential between non-agriculture and agriculture, limited rural-urban migration and slow
agricultural growth, urban-rural consumption, income, and poverty differentials have not been rising.
Urban-rural spillovers have become important drivers of the rapidly growing rural non-farm sector, which now
generates the largest number of jobs in India. Rural non-farm self-employment is especially dynamic with
farm households diversifying into the sector to increase income. The bottling up of labour in rural areas means
that farm sizes will continue to decline, agriculture will continue its trend to feminisation, and part-time farming
will become the dominant farm model."
