Pillar: Connectivity
In Nicobar, 21.6% of children under five are stunted, better than the typical Indian district. The Anganwadi centre is the frontline for changing that: supplementary nutrition, growth monitoring, and pre-school for children up to six.
70% of registered enterprises are in services while 30% are in manufacturing. Only 1% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. 92% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12).
In Nicobar, which ranks 3 of 3 in Andaman and Nicobar Island for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 47.1 out of 100. It runs ahead of the national picture on women who are anaemic at 37.8% and households in the poorest wealth group at 16.3%.
