Pillar: Connectivity
In Saiha, 43.8% 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.
78% of registered enterprises are in services while 22% are in manufacturing. Only 3% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Only 46% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12). Only 17% of ITI trainers are certified.
In Saiha, which ranks 11 of 11 in Mizoram for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 52.7 out of 100. It runs ahead of the national picture on women who are anaemic at 44.2% and households in the poorest wealth group at 6.4%.
