In Nadia, 26.1% of children under five are stunted, better than 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.
72% of registered enterprises are in services while 28% are in manufacturing. Only 3% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Only 54% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12). Only 20% of ITI trainers are certified.
In Nadia, which ranks 9 of 23 in West Bengal for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 45.5 out of 100. It trails the national picture on women who are anaemic at 73.6% and households in the poorest wealth group at 32.1%.
