In Parvathipuram Manyam, 36.4% of children under five are stunted, behind 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.
76% of registered enterprises are in services while 24% are in manufacturing. Only 1% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. 70% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12).
In Parvathipuram Manyam, which ranks 25 of 27 in Andhra Pradesh for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 44 out of 100. The district runs ahead of the national picture on households in the poorest wealth group at 10.1%, while it lags on women who are anaemic at 64.2%.
What the Anganwadi Centre is required to do, who runs it and how to find one are in the Anganwadi Centre reference.
