Pillar: Connectivity
In Kolkata, 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.
75% of registered enterprises are in services while 25% are in manufacturing. Only 25% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Only 48% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12). 50% of ITI trainers are certified.
In Kolkata, which ranks 1 of 23 in West Bengal for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 59.1 out of 100. It runs ahead of the national picture on households in the poorest wealth group at 2.5%. On women who are anaemic at 58.4%, it sits close to the national mark.
Mandated services and how to locate the Anganwadi Centre in Kolkata are in the Kolkata district course and the English reference guide (Hindi). See the Kolkata youth opportunity scorecard for the full district picture.
