In Bijapur, 53.8% 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.
79% of registered enterprises are in services while 21% are in manufacturing. Only 2% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Only 46% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12).
In Bijapur, which ranks 32 of 33 in Chhattisgarh for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 39.6 out of 100. It trails the national picture on women who are anaemic at 72.2% and households in the poorest wealth group at 74%.
