The Government of India buys  wheat and rice from farmers at a fair price. To increase the production of these crops the government offers incentives to the farmers. In the Public Sector , all the assets, and responsibilities of service fall upon the Government and this sector contributes to economic development.

Therefore,

• Assertion (A): The Government of India buys  wheat and rice from farmers at a fair price. This is true 

• Reasoning (R): Public sector contributes to economic development. This is also true.
