Pillar: Opportunity Infrastructure
Tawang disburses ₹12,729 in small business loans per lakh population. The district trains 835.5 youth per lakh under short-term skilling, better than the typical district. The Rural Self Employment Training Institute prepares rural youth to use credit like this to start their own enterprise.
74% of registered enterprises are in services while 26% are in manufacturing. Only 11% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Only 51% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12).
In Tawang, which ranks 3 of 27 in Arunachal Pradesh for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 53.3 out of 100. It trails the national picture on self-employed workers at 72.1%. On skilling trainees who get certified at 96.2%, women-owned enterprises at 39% and young people in the labour force aged 15 to 29 at 49.7%, it sits close to the national mark.
