My website internal pages are not getting cached with latest data

In our website we have sector list, in home page main category list is displayed click on main category user has to select sub category and reach the result page.
EX: Agriculture->Agribusiness->Rice
Agriculture page is indexed,but Agribusiness and Rice page is not getting cached,it is showing old indexed date as 23 July 2013,but i have submitted the sitemaps after this 4 times, and some url i have submitted manually in web master tool, but after this also my pages are not cached recently,
Please suggest the solution and what might be the problem
Thank you In Advance,

Hi Anne
I would make sure the page is in fact accessible via the crawler.
1. First check the page its self in something like URI Valet and make sure it's responding with a 200 OK code. Use Googlebot as the user agent.
2. You can also "fetch as Googlebot" in Webmaster Tools and from there submit the URL. So do the fetch and assuming it returns your 200 code you can then re-submit to the index.
3. You can also try crawling the site with Screaming Frog SEO Spider (with Googlebot as the user agent) and see if those pages come up in the crawl.
Lastly, I am curious how you know the "indexed date" of the page? I know if the page is cached you can see cache date, but not sure where indexed date would be. And sometimes Google may just not re-cache or update the index of a page for a while if it has a lower PageRank and/or the content is not new and fresh - it will not see a reason to update the cache.
Also, have these URLs ever been cached?
