Explanation:

Explanation : Punjab Economic Survey 2019-20
Punjab estimates percapita income of Rs.1,66,830 in 2019-20 in comparison with Rs.1,35,050 at all-India level.

Intra-state trends in per-capita income
Roopnagar, SAS Nagar and Ludhiana are the leading districts, in terms of per capita income since 2013-14. As of 2016-17, Roopnagar reported a per capita income (in current prices) of Rs. 169,725, SAS Nagar reported Rs. 154,310 and Ludhiana reported per capita income of Rs.152,332. Interestingly, Roopnagar is an agrarian district with 30% of its Gross District Value Added (GDVA) coming from the agriculture sector. SAS Nagar and Ludhiana are however, powered by manufacturing, contributing 29% and 27% respectively to the respective GDVA in 2016-17. On the other hand, Gurdaspur and Tarn Taran districts report the lowest per-capita income in the State. Restrictions on economic activities and border tensions have constrained growth of these districts.
