Pillar: Education & Training
Idukki trains 51.4 youth per lakh under short-term skilling programmes, behind the typical district. Of those trained, 100% go on to get certified, close to the typical district. The Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Kendra is a dedicated centre for this short-course, certification-linked training.
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 apprentices per lakh youth at 410.3.
