Deep 22 ji, you are talking about economic viability of Punjab state to survive alone.
Let me first clear something related to AID by central govt. It is their duty and state's right because highest tax (i.e. tax on income, partial tax on fuel etc) goes to center and center has moral obligation to return it back. It's fair game of give & take. koi ehsaan nahi kardi center punjab te.
Baki corruption ta system de naal aa. System corrupted aa te fer Badal yaa captain kittho bach jaane. System badle, enna sarreya te case paake enna nu jaila ch thoko, jivve german ch hitler de raaj to baad naziya naal hoya c.
Now back to economic viability, I am not an economist. But couple of things I can still see.......
Punjab being agro-based state, many agro-based, food processing industry can come up.
Lets say Punjabi farmer shed load on Wheat & paddy, instead goes to cane sugar and eventually put up sugar mills and produce own goods and export.
Same way, lets say cotton crop, eventually processed further in cloth mills to get clothes, processed further to get readymade garments and export.
Same way, fruits, processed further to form pasteurised juices and export.
Then setting up biotech labs, other research labs do not require something from under the ground but good knowledge, education system. When system is changed why not change education system. Why to have only one PAU, why not PAU like universities animal husbandry, botanical labs and research, devicing new breeds and export...
When we make exports, we can do imports (chahe fer oh loha hove yaa minerals yaa bijli).
These things could be planned and executed if there is will. There are 30 countries in the world which has size less then Punjab and they are going on.
Also allied countries, or friendly countries do give AID to upcoming developing countries.
Letstake example of India, it got AID, even gets it today and also gives it. please read the below article...
British aid to India, which amounts to $450 million per year
U.S. aid to India, targeted toward clean energy, food security and health, has dropped 25 percent in recent years, from nearly $127 million in 2010 to a proposed $98.3 million in 2013.
In 1958, for instance, Britain offered India some ₤40 million in foreign aid, as India struggled to build a nation and implement its second five-year economic plan.
For India, once the world’s largest foreign aid recipient, with some $55 billion funneled to the country between 1951 and 1992,

I believe economic viability cannot be a reason to go against new sovereign state.
