Pillar: Connectivity
In Jammu, 27% 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 7% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. 70% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12). Only 41% of ITI trainers are certified.
In Jammu, which ranks 7 of 20 in Jammu and Kashmir for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 54.1 out of 100. The district runs ahead of the national picture on households in the poorest wealth group at 1.5%, while it lags on women who are anaemic at 66.6%.
