Pillar: Connectivity
In Kasaragod, 25.3% of children under five are stunted, better than 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.
75% of registered enterprises are in services while 25% are in manufacturing. Only 4% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. 91% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12). Only 29% of ITI trainers are certified.
In Kasaragod, which ranks 13 of 15 in Kerala for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 53.7 out of 100. It runs ahead of the national picture on women who are anaemic at 35.1% and households in the poorest wealth group at 1.7%.
Mandated services and how to locate the Anganwadi Centre in Kasaragod are in the Kasaragod district course and the English reference guide (Hindi). See the Kasaragod youth opportunity scorecard for the full district picture.
