In Erode, 19.4% 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.
63% of registered enterprises are in services while 37% are in manufacturing. Only 6% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. 71% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12). Only 48% of ITI trainers are certified.
In Erode, which ranks 8 of 38 in Tamil Nadu for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 54.5 out of 100. It runs ahead of the national picture on households in the poorest wealth group at 5.9%. On women who are anaemic at 55.3%, it sits close to the national mark.
