Pillar: Connectivity
In Ahmedabad, 35.5% 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.
70% of registered enterprises are in services while 30% are in manufacturing. Only 13% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Only 49% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12). Only 45% of ITI trainers are certified.
In Ahmedabad, which ranks 2 of 33 in Gujarat for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 53.5 out of 100. The district runs ahead of the national picture on households in the poorest wealth group at 1.7%, while it lags on women who are anaemic at 63.8%.
