Pillar: Agency & Engagement
32.2% of young men in Bhojpur read a newspaper regularly, better than the typical district. 43.3% use the internet, behind the typical district. MY Bharat and the Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan build on this base to organise youth for civic and community participation.
77% of registered enterprises are in services while 23% are in manufacturing. Only 4% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Only 51% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12).
In Bhojpur, which ranks 7 of 38 in Bihar for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 44.6 out of 100. It trails the national picture on young people in the labour force aged 15 to 29 at 27.2%. On women who read a newspaper regularly at 10%, women using the internet at 27.6% and higher-education enrolment at 20.2%, it sits close to the national mark.
