Abstract: Abstract The linkages between agriculture and industry have attracted the attention of academicians and policymakers alike, and the role of agriculture and its linkages with industry is part of the main discourse in the two-sector growth models in Kuznets’ (1961) elucidation of agriculture’s contribution to the economy. According to Bhattacharya and Rao (1986), sectoral linkages in India weakened during the green revolution (1967–1978) compared to the previous period. Since the result seemed counterintuitive, Satyasai and Viswanathan (1997, 1999) analysed the intersectoral linkages and found that these strengthened over time, though the magnitude of the relation weakened in later years. Irrespective of the metrics, agriculture and the other sectors are interrelated; none of the sectors can be sustainable in isolation. Using the by-products of one (sub)sector as the inputs for the others is the key to reaping economies of scale.
