Pillar: Connectivity
In Kozhikode, 21.3% 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 6% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. 69% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12). Only 20% of ITI trainers are certified.
In Kozhikode, which ranks 11 of 15 in Kerala for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 54 out of 100. It runs ahead of the national picture on women who are anaemic at 30.1% and households in the poorest wealth group at 0.7%.
Mandated services and how to locate the Anganwadi Centre in Kozhikode are in the Kozhikode district course and the English reference guide (Hindi). See the Kozhikode youth opportunity scorecard for the full district picture.
