Pillar: Education & Training
Patna trains 171.8 youth per lakh under short-term skilling programmes, behind the typical district. 22.1% of young women aged 15 to 21 are out of education, better than 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.
79% of registered enterprises are in services while 21% are in manufacturing. Only 6% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Only 46% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12). Only 14% of ITI trainers are certified.
In Patna, which ranks 1 of 38 in Bihar for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 51.6 out of 100. It trails the national picture on women in the labour force at 18.8%. On skilling trainees who get certified at 96.6%, it sits close to the national mark.
