In Dumka, 38.2% 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.
77% of registered enterprises are in services while 23% are in manufacturing. Only 3% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Only 55% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12). Only 9% of ITI trainers are certified.
In Dumka, which ranks 14 of 24 in Jharkhand for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 44.4 out of 100. It trails the national picture on women who are anaemic at 73.2% and households in the poorest wealth group at 69.6%.
