Pillar: Connectivity
In Siwan, 36.7% 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.
72% of registered enterprises are in services while 28% are in manufacturing. Only 2% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Only 41% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12). Only 10% of ITI trainers are certified.
In Siwan, which ranks 14 of 38 in Bihar for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 43 out of 100. It trails the national picture on households in the poorest wealth group at 29%. On women who are anaemic at 53.3%, it sits close to the national mark.
