Pillar: Connectivity
In Jamui, 43% 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.
74% of registered enterprises are in services while 26% are in manufacturing. Only 2% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Only 57% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12).
In Jamui, which ranks 32 of 38 in Bihar for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 39.9 out of 100. It trails the national picture on women who are anaemic at 75.3% and households in the poorest wealth group at 53%.
