Answer:

Although the average person in Punjab has more income, he/she lags behind in crucial areas such as literacy rate because

Income is not an adequate indicator of material goods and services which people are to use.

In many regions, education, health and sanitary facilities are not adequately available to educate and prevent from infectious diseases.

People are not aware about the importance of literacy for their betterment of life.

In rural areas, they prefer to educate boys and discriminate against girls to give them school education.

Also, many parents themselves are illiterate and not given priority for education.

They send children to work for wages instead of school.
