Pillar: Connectivity
In Ri Bhoi, 42.5% 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.
71% of registered enterprises are in services while 29% are in manufacturing. Only 10% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Only 55% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12).
In Ri Bhoi, which ranks 2 of 12 in Meghalaya for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 49.2 out of 100. It trails the national picture on households in the poorest wealth group at 36.8%. On women who are anaemic at 62.5%, it sits close to the national mark.
