Pillar: Opportunity Infrastructure
40.6% of workers in Krishna are employed in agriculture, better than the typical district. The Krishi Vigyan Kendra provides the extension services and training this agriculture-dependent workforce relies on.
77% of registered enterprises are in services while 23% are in manufacturing. Only 9% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. 85% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12).
In Krishna, which ranks 6 of 27 in Andhra Pradesh for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 49.8 out of 100. It runs ahead of the national picture on self-employed workers at 34.9% and households in the poorest wealth group at 5.5%. On value added per enterprise worker at ₹1,57,804, it sits close to the national mark.
