Pillar: Education & Training
Cachar trains 214.2 youth per lakh under short-term skilling programmes, behind the typical district. 32.6% of young women aged 15 to 21 are out of education, close to the typical district. The Jan Shikshan Sansthan focuses non-formal skilling on dropouts and women who need a route back into livelihoods without returning to a classroom.
74% of registered enterprises are in services while 26% are in manufacturing. Only 3% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Only 56% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12). Only 12% of ITI trainers are certified.
In Cachar, which ranks 30 of 35 in Assam for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 42.6 out of 100. On skilling trainees who get certified at 96.1% and women in the labour force at 47.9%, it sits close to the national mark.
