Pillar: Connectivity
0.7% of households in South Goa fall in the poorest wealth quintile, better than the typical district. Secondary enrolment stands at 82.9%, better than the typical district. The Scholarship Office and District Social Welfare Officer administer the aid that keeps children from the poorest households in school.
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 higher-education enrolment at 43%. On class 9 pupils at grade level in maths at 38% and schools with usable girls' toilets at 99.9%, it sits close to the national mark.
