Pillar: Agency & Engagement
57.6% of young men in South Goa read a newspaper regularly, better than the typical district. 80.7% use the internet, better than the typical district. MY Bharat and the Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan build on this base to organise youth for civic and community participation.
84% of registered enterprises are in services while 16% are in manufacturing. Only 7% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Higher secondary enrollment (classes 9–12) is 108%, likely reflecting students enrolling from neighbouring areas. Only 36% of ITI trainers are certified.
In South Goa, which ranks 2 of 2 in Goa for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 62.9 out of 100. It runs ahead of the national picture on women who read a newspaper regularly at 54.5%, women using the internet at 77.4%, young people in the labour force aged 15 to 29 at 54.7% and higher-education enrolment at 43%.
