Pillar: Education & Training
Kheda trains 38.4 youth per lakh under short-term skilling programmes, behind the typical district. Of those trained, 95.9% go on to get certified, close to the typical district. The Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Kendra is a dedicated centre for this short-course, certification-linked training.
76% of registered enterprises are in services while 24% are in manufacturing. Only 5% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Only 59% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12).
In Kheda, which ranks 30 of 33 in Gujarat for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 44 out of 100. It runs ahead of the national picture on apprentices per lakh youth at 275.4.
