Pillar: Connectivity
In Latur, 43.2% 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.
76% of registered enterprises are in services while 24% are in manufacturing. Only 4% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. 70% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12). Only 16% of ITI trainers are certified.
In Latur, which ranks 23 of 36 in Maharashtra for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 44.6 out of 100. It runs ahead of the national picture on women who are anaemic at 50.8% and households in the poorest wealth group at 13.4%.
