The world is evolving very rapidly everyday and each and everyone has to evolve accordingly. So on the occasion of World Youth Skills Day, Discover East brings a list of essential skills which are indispensable in the modern day.
The global Covid – 19 pandemic has proved the importance of few of this skills beyond any doubt. We believe that these skills are essential not only for the youth, but for everyone. So the following are few of them are listed as follows.
1. Cooking
Cooking is a basic life skill which is a must for everyone. The global pandemic has proven than atleast the ability to prepare the most basic food is beyond any questions. With all the restaurants closed and domestic help unable to commute, one will go all but hungry without this essential skill. You can also show off this skills to your near and dear ones, specially those that you want to impress.
2. First Aid
No one knows when a disaster might strike. Be it a natural or a man made one, one must be equipped to help in whatever form necessary. In a country like India where quality medical facilities are not available for everyone within time limits, this skill can be the difference between life and death.
3. Cultivating Food
Once upon a time this was known to be one of the most important skills of humans. But as time passed, more and more people lost grip of this activity. The lack or rather shortage of fresh produce like fruits, vegetables, meat and fish has proven its need yet again. So everyone should try to grow atleast a tiny part of their own consumption.
4. Using Internet
Is this even necessary in the modern day you might ask, but there are quite a few people out there who have no idea about internet usage beyond social media. Knowledge of all sorts is available for free on the internet and knowing how to make proper use of the same is also one of the essential skills.
5. Coding
The skill of coding has upmost need of the youth of the day. The Covid -19 pandemic has forced to move everything online and coding skills form an essential part of that. Post pandemic, the world will see everything from a different prospective thus making the youth industry ready. So we suggest that everyone masters atleast one coding language.
There are few more essential skills which need mentioning in this article. They are swimming, driving a vehicle and learning atleast one major language proficiently.
