Pillar: Connectivity
In Sidhi, 39.1% 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.
83% of registered enterprises are in services while 17% are in manufacturing. Only 2% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Only 55% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12). Only 20% of ITI trainers are certified.
In Sidhi, which ranks 19 of 55 in Madhya Pradesh for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 44.5 out of 100. It trails the national picture on households in the poorest wealth group at 59%. On women who are anaemic at 56%, it sits close to the national mark.
