Pillar: Economic Participation
Kota places 172.4 apprentices per lakh youth, better than the typical district. The Apprenticeship Placement Cell is the administrative engine behind that number, matching trainees to employers.
75% of registered enterprises are in services while 25% are in manufacturing. Only 7% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. 79% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12).
In Kota, which ranks 12 of 41 in Rajasthan for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 49.1 out of 100. It runs ahead of the national picture on ITI seats per lakh youth at 962.1. On informal workers with any social-security cover at 0.6%, it sits close to the national mark.
What the Apprenticeship Placement Cell is required to do, who runs it and how to find one are in the Apprenticeship Placement Cell reference.
