Pillar: Economic Participation
West Tripura places 698.7 apprentices per lakh youth, better than the typical district. The Apprenticeship Placement Cell is the administrative engine behind that number, matching trainees to employers.
72% of registered enterprises are in services while 28% are in manufacturing. Only 7% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Only 50% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12).
In West Tripura, which ranks 1 of 8 in Tripura for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 50.6 out of 100. It trails the national picture on ITI seats per lakh youth at 519.3. On informal workers with any social-security cover at 1.7%, it sits close to the national mark.
