Pillar: Agency & Engagement
7.5% of young men in North Tripura read a newspaper regularly, behind the typical district. 50.5% use the internet, behind the typical district. MY Bharat and the Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan build on this base to organise youth for civic and community participation.
74% of registered enterprises are in services while 26% are in manufacturing. Only 2% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Only 56% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12).
In North Tripura, which ranks 3 of 8 in Tripura for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 45.9 out of 100. It trails the national picture on women who read a newspaper regularly at 7.9%, women using the internet at 24.9% and higher-education enrolment at 17.1%. On young people in the labour force aged 15 to 29 at 42.1%, it sits close to the national mark.
