The main economic activity is subsistence farming.

In the northwest, the economic activity is nomadic herding.

Across the country, there are small sections of manufacturing and trade.

In the north, east, and south, there are few areas of commercial farming.

• Commercial farming is found around high populations.

In the north, there is little to no activities.

• There is little to no activity because of the Himalayas.

India is a developing country because the main economic activity is subsistence farming but there are some growing areas of manufacturing and trade.
