In Thane, 40.8% 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.
80% of registered enterprises are in services while 20% are in manufacturing. Only 7% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. 71% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12). Only 18% of ITI trainers are certified.
In Thane, which ranks 3 of 36 in Maharashtra for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 59.5 out of 100. It runs ahead of the national picture on households in the poorest wealth group at 2.6%. On women who are anaemic at 58.5%, it sits close to the national mark.
