Pillar: Education & Training
Patan trains 322.6 youth per lakh under short-term skilling programmes, better than the typical district. 60% 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.
77% of registered enterprises are in services while 23% are in manufacturing. Only 7% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Only 44% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12). Only 26% of ITI trainers are certified.
In Patan, which ranks 28 of 33 in Gujarat for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 45.3 out of 100. On skilling trainees who get certified at 94.3% and women in the labour force at 52.5%, it sits close to the national mark.
