In Ghazipur, 39.3% 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.
78% of registered enterprises are in services while 22% are in manufacturing. Only 2% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Only 56% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12).
In Ghazipur, which ranks 31 of 75 in Uttar Pradesh for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 44.7 out of 100. The district runs ahead of the national picture on women who are anaemic at 45.8%, while it lags on households in the poorest wealth group at 31.9%.
