Pillar: Education & Training
Gandhinagar trains 100.5 youth per lakh under short-term skilling programmes, behind the typical district. 53.2% of young women aged 15 to 21 are out of education, behind 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.
76% of registered enterprises are in services while 24% are in manufacturing. Only 10% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. 77% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12). Only 26% of ITI trainers are certified.
In Gandhinagar, which ranks 10 of 33 in Gujarat for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 51.1 out of 100. On skilling trainees who get certified at 92.6% and women in the labour force at 44.4%, it sits close to the national mark.
