In Bokaro, 36.2% 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.
80% of registered enterprises are in services while 20% are in manufacturing. Only 4% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Only 56% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12). Only 6% of ITI trainers are certified.
In Bokaro, which ranks 7 of 24 in Jharkhand for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 48.2 out of 100. It trails the national picture on women who are anaemic at 68.8% and households in the poorest wealth group at 24.8%.
