The paper aims to reveal the spatial pattern of the concentration of COVID-19 confirmed cases and the spread of the pandemic from the Case Fatality Ratio. The study has been accomplished with district-level data. The analysis of the spatial pattern decoding has been done considering the Global and Local Moran's I statistics comprising the linear trend of spatial autocorrelation for the whole India. The timeframe has been divided considering the surge of the second wave in March, 2021 and the peak of the wave in May 2021. The spatial clustering technique presents both the concentration of confirmeded cases using Location Quotient analysis and the pattern of spread of the infection-related fatality throughout the country. The high Location Quotient of the confirmeded cases strongly clustered around the Mumbai-Puna region, Kerala-Karnataka region, Garhwal Himachal, NCT of Delhi and Ladakh-Kashmir-Himachal Pradesh region during the period of the study. In May, the concentration has randomly clustered around the middle part of India. The Case Fatality Ratio was high in Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab and Haryana at the surge of the second wave. In peak (May), the two significant clusters of high case fatality ratio is pivoted around in Mumbai urban (Maharashtra) and NCT of Delhi (including Punjab-Haryana).
Soft skills help to enhance the ability of individuals to efficiently work in a global business environment and ensure effective use of domain knowledge in actual practice. To improve the employability of job-seekers, soft skills have a crucial role to play. However, the importance of soft skills has always been sidelined in the Indian context for the need of other core technical skills. This paper highlights the importance of soft skills in the present environment, focuses on bottlenecks faced by soft skills training, and also suggests some guidelines by analyzing the past research papers, reports, surveys and government programmes on issues related to employability and soft skills.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
