Pillar: Agency & Engagement
33% of young men in Chittoor read a newspaper regularly, better than the typical district. 53.4% use the internet, close to the typical district. MY Bharat and the Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan build on this base to organise youth for civic and community participation.
73% of registered enterprises are in services while 27% are in manufacturing. Only 4% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. 68% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12).
In Chittoor, which ranks 12 of 27 in Andhra Pradesh for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 47.7 out of 100. The district runs ahead of the national picture on women who read a newspaper regularly at 15.4% and higher-education enrolment at 100%, while it lags on women using the internet at 26.3%. On young people in the labour force aged 15 to 29 at 48%, it sits close to the national mark.
