Pillar: Connectivity
1.7% of households in Ahmedabad fall in the poorest wealth quintile, better than the typical district. Secondary enrolment stands at 64.2%, close to the typical district. The Scholarship Office and District Social Welfare Officer administer the aid that keeps children from the poorest households in school.
70% of registered enterprises are in services while 30% are in manufacturing. Only 13% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Only 49% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12). Only 45% of ITI trainers are certified.
In Ahmedabad, which ranks 2 of 33 in Gujarat for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 53.5 out of 100. It runs ahead of the national picture on higher-education enrolment at 41.8%. On class 9 pupils at grade level in maths at 32% and schools with usable girls' toilets at 99.7%, it sits close to the national mark.
