Pillar: Education & Training
Khowai trains 239.5 youth per lakh under short-term skilling programmes, behind the typical district. 21.2% 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.
59% of registered enterprises are in services while 41% 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 Khowai, which ranks 2 of 8 in Tripura for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 46.1 out of 100. It trails the national picture on women in the labour force at 39.6%. On skilling trainees who get certified at 98.2%, it sits close to the national mark.
