Pillar: Agency & Engagement
39.9% of young men in Tapi read a newspaper regularly, better than the typical district. 49.3% use the internet, behind the typical district. MY Bharat and the Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan build on this base to organise youth for civic and community participation.
78% of registered enterprises are in services while 22% are in manufacturing. Only 6% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Only 50% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12).
In Tapi, which ranks 19 of 33 in Gujarat for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 46.7 out of 100. The district runs ahead of the national picture on women who read a newspaper regularly at 19.6% and young people in the labour force aged 15 to 29 at 70.4%, while it lags on higher-education enrolment at 11.3%. On women using the internet at 30.3%, it sits close to the national mark.
What the MY Bharat / NYKS is required to do, who runs it and how to find one are in the MY Bharat / NYKS reference. For Tapi specifically, see the Tapi district course and the English reference guide (Hindi). The Tapi youth opportunity scorecard carries the full district picture.
