Pillar: Education & Training
Uttar Kashi trains 777.8 youth per lakh under short-term skilling programmes, better than the typical district. 35% 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.
81% of registered enterprises are in services while 19% are in manufacturing. Only 1% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. 64% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12). Only 20% of ITI trainers are certified.
In Uttar Kashi, which ranks 12 of 13 in Uttarakhand for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 47.2 out of 100. It trails the national picture on women in the labour force at 40.9%. On skilling trainees who get certified at 87.7%, it sits close to the national mark.
