Secondly, In countries like India, Parents are now much aware about the need of basic skills for teenagers due to global immigration as these skills will help their kids to survive in any part of the world. Previous there was a bias when it comes to teaching cooking skills to men and self-defence to women now a days both men and women are interested in learning all types of skills.
