Pillar: Economic Participation
Idukki places 410.3 apprentices per lakh youth, better than the typical district. The Apprenticeship Placement Cell is the administrative engine behind that number, matching trainees to employers.
76% of registered enterprises are in services while 24% are in manufacturing. Only 6% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Higher secondary enrollment (classes 9–12) is 147%, likely reflecting students enrolling from neighbouring areas. Only 17% of ITI trainers are certified.
In Idukki, which ranks 10 of 15 in Kerala for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 54.6 out of 100. On ITI seats per lakh youth at 645.1 and informal workers with any social-security cover at 0%, it sits close to the national mark.
