Pillar: Connectivity
In Saharsa, 47.8% 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 3% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Only 40% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12). Only 13% of ITI trainers are certified.
In Saharsa, which ranks 13 of 38 in Bihar for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 43.2 out of 100. It trails the national picture on women who are anaemic at 65.2% and households in the poorest wealth group at 61.8%.
