Punjab is known for huge agricultural production and therefore the average income in Punjab is more than Kerala.
The south Indian state was ruled by the communist government, and their government paid more attention to education and health facilities across the state.
Due to lack of industrial initiatives, Kerala lose the chance to expect high income. Therefore, it is far ahead on both the above mentioned parameters when compared to Punjab.
