There are 19 districts in Tamil Nadu whose per capita income is lower than that of the State average (₹2,36,783) in 2019-20.
The figures of the remaining 13 districts exceeded the State’s tally.
Tiruvallur topped the list with around ₹3.64 lakh, followed by Erode (₹3.57 lakh), and Coimbatore (₹3.39 lakh).
In these districts, per capita income was higher than any of the major Indian States in that year, including Telangana, Haryana, and Karnataka.
At the bottom were Perambalur (₹1,07,731), Tiruvarur (₹1,25,653), and Villupuram (₹1,30,103).
But these districts levels were “higher than” that of Assam, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, and Odisha in the same year.
However, the figures were lower than the all-India figure of ₹1.32 lakh for that year.
