Pillar: Connectivity
In Pakyong, 17.8% 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.
79% of registered enterprises are in services while 21% are in manufacturing. Only 1% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Only 56% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12).
In Pakyong, which ranks 1 of 6 in Sikkim for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 58.9 out of 100. It runs ahead of the national picture on women who are anaemic at 43% and households in the poorest wealth group at 1.4%.
Mandated services and how to locate the Anganwadi Centre in Pakyong are in the Pakyong district course and the English reference guide (Hindi). See the Pakyong youth opportunity scorecard for the full district picture.
