<b>Wealth pool: Haryana beats B'lore</b>
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Delhi and Mumbai continue to be the major centres of wealth in India, accounting for half of the roughly 20,000 crorepati households in the country<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd--><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->If you think this is only because of Kolkataâs significantly bigger size, consider this: 180 households of every million households in Kolkata are crorepati compared with 113 for every million in Bangalore. Cyberabad is only just a little better than the eastern megapolis on this count with 191 crorepati homes for every million households.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd--><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->In Haryana, for instance, the number of rural households with annual incomes above Rs 1 crore is more than the number of crorepati urban homes. In fact, with 482 crorepatis, rural Haryana beats Bangalore, which has only 137 crorepatis. In Punjab, too, there are almost as many crorepatis in the villages and small towns (those with less than 5 lakh population) than in the bigger cities.
Sample this: 350 of every million households in small towns have a Rs 1-crore-plus annual income, considerably higher than the proportion even in metros like Kolkata, Bangalore and Hyderabad. In fact, rural and small-town Haryana and Punjab, too, have higher densities of crorepatis than Bangalore or Kolkata.

Lot because of atitude plus after independence Punjab and Harayana received maximum subsidy in every front. Rest of India was neglected by leaders.
Prosperity is visible in Punjab and Harayana.
