Pillar: Connectivity
In Jaunpur, 40.5% 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.
79% of registered enterprises are in services while 21% are in manufacturing. Only 2% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Only 58% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12). Only 46% of ITI trainers are certified.
In Jaunpur, which ranks 25 of 75 in Uttar Pradesh for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 45 out of 100. It runs ahead of the national picture on women who are anaemic at 33.6% and households in the poorest wealth group at 16.4%.
