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.
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.
They send children to work for wages instead of school.
