In Patan, 50.5% 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.
77% of registered enterprises are in services while 23% are in manufacturing. Only 7% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Only 44% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12). Only 26% of ITI trainers are certified.
In Patan, which ranks 28 of 33 in Gujarat for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 45.3 out of 100. It runs ahead of the national picture on households in the poorest wealth group at 10.6%. On women who are anaemic at 60%, it sits close to the national mark.
