Pillar: Connectivity
In Udhampur, 37.3% 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.
86% of registered enterprises are in services while 14% are in manufacturing. Only 2% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. 64% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12). Only 8% of ITI trainers are certified.
In Udhampur, which ranks 13 of 20 in Jammu and Kashmir for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 51 out of 100. On women who are anaemic at 56.6% and households in the poorest wealth group at 19%, it sits close to the national mark.
