Pillar: Connectivity
In Amethi, 35.8% 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.
77% of registered enterprises are in services while 23% are in manufacturing. Only 3% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Only 52% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12).
In Amethi, which ranks 26 of 75 in Uttar Pradesh for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 44.5 out of 100. The district runs ahead of the national picture on women who are anaemic at 46.1%, while it lags on households in the poorest wealth group at 34.8%.
What the Anganwadi Centre is required to do, who runs it and how to find one are in the Anganwadi Centre reference. For Amethi specifically, see the Amethi district course and the English reference guide (Hindi). The Amethi youth opportunity scorecard carries the full district picture.
