Pillar: Connectivity
In Gorakhpur, 29.6% of children under five are stunted, close to 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 6% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. 60% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12). 51% of ITI trainers are certified.
In Gorakhpur, which ranks 24 of 75 in Uttar Pradesh for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 45 out of 100. On women who are anaemic at 52.9% and households in the poorest wealth group at 19.7%, it sits close to the national mark.
