Pillar: Opportunity Infrastructure
22.9% of workers in Idukki are employed in agriculture, better than the typical district. The Krishi Vigyan Kendra provides the extension services and training this agriculture-dependent workforce relies on.
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. It runs ahead of the national picture on self-employed workers at 32.2%, value added per enterprise worker at ₹2,41,119 and households in the poorest wealth group at 2.8%.
