Pillar: Agency & Engagement
In Kota, 39.3% of working-age women are in the labour force, behind the typical district. A Working Women's Hostel helps women take up jobs away from home by giving them safe, affordable housing so distance is not a barrier.
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.
In Kota, which ranks 13 of 41 in Rajasthan for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 49.1 out of 100. On women with a bank account at 86% and women taking part in all major household decisions at 68.6%, it sits close to the national mark.
