Pillar: Education & Training
Agra trains 796.3 youth per lakh under short-term skilling programmes, better than the typical district. 35.5% of young women aged 15 to 21 are out of education, close to 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.
67% of registered enterprises are in services while 33% are in manufacturing. Only 6% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Only 50% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12). 55% of ITI trainers are certified.
In Agra, which ranks 15 of 75 in Uttar Pradesh for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 46.2 out of 100. It trails the national picture on women in the labour force at 21%. On skilling trainees who get certified at 96.1%, it sits close to the national mark.
