Pillar: Education & Training
Kanchipuram trains 277.6 youth per lakh under short-term skilling programmes, close to the typical district. 25.2% 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.
77% of registered enterprises are in services while 23% are in manufacturing. Only 9% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. 98% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12).
