Explanation
Western Uttar Pradesh is economically the most advanced region of the state. It exhibits higher per capita income, better infrastructure, and greater levels of urbanization and industrialization compared to the Eastern (Purvanchal), Central, and Bundelkhand regions. This regional disparity is a significant aspect of the state's socio-economic profile.
Furthermore, Western UP was one of the core areas of the Green Revolution in India during the late 1960s. Along with Punjab and Haryana, it benefited from the introduction of High-Yielding Variety (HYV) seeds, improved irrigation, and fertilizers, which significantly boosted agricultural productivity, especially for wheat and sugarcane. This agricultural prosperity laid the foundation for its relative economic dominance in the state. Therefore, both statements are correct.
