Answer:
Yes,
I agree that mean income or per capita income is not the only factor. Factors
like Infant Mortality Rate, Literacy Rate and Net Attendance ratio are also
very crucial for overall human development. In these factors Kerala is better
than Punjab.
The reasons of kerala for being better than Punjab are
(i) Infant Mortality Rate in Kerala was 11 as compared to
49 in Punjab (in the year 2003).
(ii) Literacy Rate (%) was 91 in Kerala as compared to 70
in Punjab (in the year 2001)
(iii) Net Attendance Ratio from class I to V was 91 in Kerala
as compared to 81 in Punjab (in 1995-96).
Due to these advantages, Kerala has a better human
development ranking than Punjab, in spite of lower per capita income.
