Pillar: Connectivity
In West Khasi Hills, 59% 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.
68% of registered enterprises are in services while 32% are in manufacturing. Only 1% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Only 44% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12).
In West Khasi Hills, which ranks 4 of 12 in Meghalaya for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 44.6 out of 100. It trails the national picture on households in the poorest wealth group at 55.4%. On women who are anaemic at 51.7%, it sits close to the national mark.
