Abstract: The present investigation was carried out for Haryana state for the period 1970-2021. Economic growth has been defined as a structural transformation process in which the contribution of industry and services sectors increased and agriculture's relative proportion of national production decreased. Statistical averages, percentages and CAGRs, were computed. Sectoral labor shares, capital formation, and sectoral output composition are the chosen metrics to evaluate structural change in the state. Agricultural performance was evaluated using key indicators of development, such as crop yields, cropping intensity, irrigation intensity, tractor density, and fertilizer consumption. Although Haryana is primarily an agricultural state, it has also seen significant growth in the industrial and service sectors. The main conclusions indicate that Haryana's structural changes align with those of India's national economy. However, the agricultural sector requires greater focus from policymakers to encourage the adoption of new farming innovations.
