In Yanam, 25% of children under five are stunted, better than 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.
72% of registered enterprises are in services while 28% are in manufacturing. Only 19% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Only 35% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12). 100% of ITI trainers are certified.
In Yanam, which ranks 2 of 27 in Puducherry for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 54.7 out of 100. It runs ahead of the national picture on women who are anaemic at 43.2% and households in the poorest wealth group at 0.6%.
