Pillar: Connectivity
In Palamu, 43.7% 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.
82% of registered enterprises are in services while 18% are in manufacturing. Only 3% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. 67% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12). Only 20% of ITI trainers are certified.
In Palamu, which ranks 19 of 24 in Jharkhand for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 43.5 out of 100. It trails the national picture on households in the poorest wealth group at 57.2%. On women who are anaemic at 61%, it sits close to the national mark.
