Pillar: Connectivity
100% of gram panchayats in Wayanad are BharatNet service-ready, close to the typical district. 49.7% of women use the internet, better than the typical district. The Aadhaar Enrolment Centre is often the first digital-identity touchpoint on this connectivity base.
75% of registered enterprises are in services while 25% are in manufacturing. Only 5% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Higher secondary enrollment (classes 9–12) is 176%, likely reflecting students enrolling from neighbouring areas. Only 20% of ITI trainers are certified.
