Pillar: Connectivity
In Patna, 34.5% of children under five are stunted, close to 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.
79% of registered enterprises are in services while 21% are in manufacturing. Only 6% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Only 46% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12). Only 14% of ITI trainers are certified.
In Patna, which ranks 1 of 38 in Bihar for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 51.6 out of 100. It trails the national picture on women who are anaemic at 67.2% and households in the poorest wealth group at 20.6%.
