Pillar: Education & Training
Pakyong trains 1,144.5 youth per lakh under short-term skilling programmes, better than the typical district. 17.9% 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.
79% of registered enterprises are in services while 21% are in manufacturing. Only 1% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Only 56% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12).
In Pakyong, which ranks 1 of 6 in Sikkim for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 58.9 out of 100. It runs ahead of the national picture on women in the labour force at 68.8%. On skilling trainees who get certified at 92.4%, it sits close to the national mark.
