Pillar: Connectivity
In Banda, 51% 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 47% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12). Only 40% of ITI trainers are certified.
In Banda, which ranks 58 of 75 in Uttar Pradesh for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 42 out of 100. It trails the national picture on households in the poorest wealth group at 52.6%. On women who are anaemic at 51.9%, it sits close to the national mark.
