In Yavatmal, 36.6% 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.
77% of registered enterprises are in services while 23% are in manufacturing. Only 4% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. 60% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12). Only 23% of ITI trainers are certified.
In Yavatmal, which ranks 30 of 36 in Maharashtra for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 42.5 out of 100. On women who are anaemic at 58.5% and households in the poorest wealth group at 16.9%, it sits close to the national mark.
