  1. Do you consider the fact, that a lot of the wealth in South, is created by many Northerners ? A lot of students and engineers from North, earn money and spend money locally in South. This generates GST to the states. Also, this puts pressure on property prices, and creates construction boom. If these people go back to North, and work from home, then all that spending will happen in North only. Property prices in South will drop, and tier-2 cities of North will prosper. So, it's not the state, but people who create wealth. It's not one-sided. And North esp UP is rapidly improving its infrastructure, that was neglected by secular govts. So, once infra is improved, reverse migration will happen, and North will become as productive as South.

  2.  @rombohnallavan1861  Southerners used to go to North, in the past. And they used to send back money too. Due to rise of IT ecosystem in South, migration patteryjas reversed.

  3. Implement work from home in every state. Then many talented North Indians, would go settle in their home states, and spend locally, creating prosperity in the North. Whereas, all the spending is happening in Bengaluru, and property prices are unreasonably high in Bengaluru now, with heavy traffic. Remote working will avoid concentration of rich people in Bengaluru. Also, North Indians in B'lore, are unable to vote in home state, and don't have voting power in the adopted state. Also, they have to face angry stares from locals in B'lore. So, remote working is the best solution.
