Pillar: Education & Training
Kolhapur trains 242.1 youth per lakh under short-term skilling programmes, behind the typical district. 19.8% of young women aged 15 to 21 are out of education, better than the typical district. The Jan Shikshan Sansthan focuses non-formal skilling on dropouts and women who need a route back into livelihoods without returning to a classroom.
64% of registered enterprises are in services while 36% are in manufacturing. Only 5% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. 70% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12). Only 18% of ITI trainers are certified.
In Kolhapur, which ranks 10 of 36 in Maharashtra for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 50.3 out of 100. On skilling trainees who get certified at 93.1% and women in the labour force at 50.2%, it sits close to the national mark.
