In Jaisalmer, 25.5% 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.
71% of registered enterprises are in services while 29% are in manufacturing. Only 3% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Only 57% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12). 73% of ITI trainers are certified.
