In Shimla, 27.1% of children under five are stunted, better than 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.
87% of registered enterprises are in services while 13% are in manufacturing. Only 4% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. 72% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12). Only 34% of ITI trainers are certified.
In Shimla, which ranks 2 of 12 in Himachal Pradesh for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 62.7 out of 100. It runs ahead of the national picture on women who are anaemic at 46.6% and households in the poorest wealth group at 4.2%.
