LIFE SKILLS

 FIRST AID-LEVEL 1 TRAINING

We believe it is essential to provide the relevant and necessary skills training to our volunteers in the events of any of them getting injured while working. We have acquired the skills of a private training company to train some of our volunteers on first aid-level 1.

 Today’s youth are facing many emerging issues such as global warming, famines, poverty, suicide, population explosion as well as social, emotional, physical and psychological issues. Cut-throat competition, unemployment, lack of job security, etc. are some of the major concerns for the educated and as a result, they are caught in the mad race. No one has time for his/her ‘self’, to develop empathy with surrounding and to have harmony in society. 

Young mind is being considered, as the most productive members of the society, due to their physical and intellectual capability. But in real scenario, most of them are unable to utilize their potential in an appropriate way due to lack of guidance and motivation. Social problems like alcoholism, drug abuse, sexual abuse, smoking, juvenile delinquency, anti-social acts, etc. have an adverse effect on them and others too, to a large extent. 

This new challenge requires immediate and an effective response from a socially responsible system of education. Education, now a days is hence, very important, but the kind of education, to support and live life better is more important. Thus, the cardinal focus of Education, therefore, needs an extraordinary emphasis on developing such skills in youth, as they are the important building blocks for a dynamic citizen, who can cope up with future challenges, and survive. 

Operation Phakama has recognized this fact that it is necessary to develop life skills programs as well as empowering the youth and unemployed citizens , has made life skill education as a compulsory element in the organization. It has been felt, that life skills education bridges the gap between basic functioning and capabilities.  

It strengthens the ability of an individual to meet the needs and demands of the present society. Thus, a relevant life skill education helps in dealing with the above issues in a manner to get desired behavior practical.
