Solution

Dear Student,
The case is so because Kerala has a higher literacy rate than Haryana. The educated people understand the value of women empowerment. and give equal importance to both men and women. This leads to a reduced rate of issues like sex determination, female foeticide, and infant mortality in states like Kerala.
