Pillar: Connectivity
In Baksa, 41.2% 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.
65% of registered enterprises are in services while 35% are in manufacturing. Only 1% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Only 40% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12).
In Baksa, which ranks 9 of 35 in Assam for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 46.8 out of 100. It trails the national picture on women who are anaemic at 73.6% and households in the poorest wealth group at 43.1%.
