Pillar: Connectivity
100% of gram panchayats in Anand are BharatNet service-ready, close to the typical district. 26.1% of women use the internet, behind the typical district. The Aadhaar Enrolment Centre is often the first digital-identity touchpoint on this connectivity base.
76% of registered enterprises are in services while 24% are in manufacturing. Only 5% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. 63% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12).
In Anand, which ranks 24 of 33 in Gujarat for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 46.2 out of 100. It trails the national picture on young men using the internet at 45.2% and women with a bank account at 66.7%.
What the Aadhaar Enrolment Centre is required to do, who runs it and how to find one are in the Aadhaar Enrolment Centre reference. For Anand specifically, see the Anand district course and the English reference guide (Hindi). The Anand youth opportunity scorecard carries the full district picture.
