Imagine a pyramid:
How would you build this pyramid? Like this:
Or like this:
The second method may look nonsensical. But that is exactly what we Indians are doing, with our economy and development. The pyramid is a country's economy:
The bottom layer is Agriculture, the middle layer is Industry, and the top layer is Services.
The first method shows how today's developed countries (Europe, America, Japan) have grown. First they developed their agriculture, then their industry, finally their services.
The second method shows how India is developing – in an upside-down fashion. First we developed our services. Now we are developing our industry. We have yet to start developing our agriculture (so the last step is more hope than reality). This is exactly the reverse/opposite of the first method.

"It is the agricultural sector that the long-term battle for economic development will be won or lost."

Thanx for sharing this nice post. India govt. should take some important steps in the regards of Agriculture. As we all know that Indian 70% of population lives in villages and mostly depends on Agriculture.
