Pillar: Education & Training
Bandipore trains 3,761 youth per lakh under short-term skilling programmes, better than the typical district. 22.3% of young women aged 15 to 21 are out of education, better than 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.
58% of registered enterprises are in services while 42% are in manufacturing. Only 1% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Only 37% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12).
In Bandipore, which ranks 15 of 20 in Jammu and Kashmir for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 49.4 out of 100. On skilling trainees who get certified at 95.2% and women in the labour force at 52.6%, it sits close to the national mark.
