Pillar: Opportunity Infrastructure
Kota disburses ₹38,578 in small business loans per lakh population. The district trains 399.6 youth per lakh under short-term skilling, better than the typical district. The Rural Self Employment Training Institute prepares rural youth to use credit like this to start their own enterprise.
75% of registered enterprises are in services while 25% are in manufacturing. Only 7% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. 65% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12). Only 29% of ITI trainers are certified.
