Pillar: Agency & Engagement
Women's mobility composite score in Palakkad is 13.7%, behind the typical district. 79.5% of women take part in all three major household decisions, close to the typical district. The Sakhi One-Stop Centre supports women whose safety and agency fall short of this.
74% of registered enterprises are in services while 26% are in manufacturing. Only 5% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Higher secondary enrollment (classes 9–12) is 111%, likely reflecting students enrolling from neighbouring areas. Only 31% of ITI trainers are certified.
In Palakkad, which ranks 12 of 15 in Kerala for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 53.8 out of 100. It trails the national picture on women who own a house at 22.2%.
