• Sectors of the Indian Economy – Economic activities are grouped into three sectors: primary (using nature), secondary (making goods) and tertiary (services). GDP counts the value of final goods and services. In India the tertiary sector produces the most, but the primary sector employs the most, with much disguised unemployment. Activities are also divided into organised and unorganised, and public and private sectors.
• Minerals and Energy Resources – Minerals are natural substances found in rocks. They are metallic (ferrous or non-ferrous), non-metallic, or energy minerals. Energy comes from conventional sources like coal, petroleum, natural gas and electricity, and from non-conventional sources like sun, wind, nuclear, biogas, tides and heat from the Earth. Both minerals and energy must be conserved.
• Agriculture – Agriculture means growing crops and raising animals. In India it ranges from small family plots to big commercial farms and plantations. Crops grow in three seasons: kharif, rabi and zaid. Each major crop needs its own mix of rain, temperature and soil. The government has made reforms to help farmers.
• Sustainability – Sustainability means meeting our needs today without taking away the ability of future people to meet theirs. It rests on three pillars — environment, society and economy. A resource is used sustainably when we use it no faster than it renews. Today humanity uses about 1.7 Earths' worth of resources a year, and this use is very unequal. Stewardship, careful planning and spatial tools like GIS help us move towards sustainability.
