67% of registered enterprises are in services while 33% are in manufacturing. Only 2% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Only 36% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12).
In South Garo Hills, which ranks 6 of 12 in Meghalaya for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 43.9 out of 100. It trails the national picture on households in the poorest wealth group at 27.9%. On women who are anaemic at 56.4%, it sits close to the national mark.
