Pillar: Opportunity Infrastructure
28.6% of workers in Wayanad 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.
75% of registered enterprises are in services while 25% are in manufacturing. Only 5% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Higher secondary enrollment (classes 9–12) is 176%, likely reflecting students enrolling from neighbouring areas. Only 20% of ITI trainers are certified.
In Wayanad, which ranks 15 of 15 in Kerala for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 52.3 out of 100. It runs ahead of the national picture on self-employed workers at 30.7%, value added per enterprise worker at ₹1,99,049 and households in the poorest wealth group at 6.1%.
