In Kodagu, 30.4% of children under five are stunted, close to 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 7% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. 63% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12). 56% of ITI trainers are certified.
