Pillar: Connectivity
In Nalanda, 42.6% 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.
75% of registered enterprises are in services while 25% are in manufacturing. Only 2% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. 60% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12). Only 10% of ITI trainers are certified.
In Nalanda, which ranks 2 of 38 in Bihar for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 46.5 out of 100. It trails the national picture on women who are anaemic at 71% and households in the poorest wealth group at 27.2%.
