Question

the average person in Punjab has no income than the average person in Kerala but lags behind in other crucial areas why

Answer 1

Though Punjab has high per capital income, it lags behind than Kerela because per capital income is not the sole indicator of a state's economy and rate of development. Other factors also matter. Kerela has a low infant mortality rate and high literacy rate than Punjab which means it focuses on healthcare and education and thus has a better Human Development Ranking (HDI) than Punjab. Hence, Punjab lags behind than Kerela.
