The per capita income of Telangana for 2013-14 has been put at Rs 93,151. It is way ahead of the national average of Rs 74,920. However, only three districts of the new State are having the averages that are above the national average.
"The (per capita) income masks wide variations across the districts. In the remaining seven districts, the average is below the national average," Telangana Finace Minister Eatela Rajender has said.
Presenting the Budget in the Assembly here on Wednesday, he said majority of the districts continue to remain backward with nine out of 10 districts in the State being covered under the Backward Regions Grant Fund (BRGF).
