Pillar: Connectivity
In Sheohar, 34.4% 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.
71% of registered enterprises are in services while 29% are in manufacturing. Only 1% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. 64% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12).
In Sheohar, which ranks 25 of 38 in Bihar for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 40.9 out of 100. It trails the national picture on households in the poorest wealth group at 49.9%. On women who are anaemic at 61.9%, it sits close to the national mark.
Mandated services and how to locate the Anganwadi Centre in Sheohar are in the Sheohar district course and the English reference guide (Hindi). See the Sheohar youth opportunity scorecard for the full district picture.
