Life skills enable us to translate knowledge, attitude and values into actual abilities by helping us decide what to do, when to do and how to do. The life skill education promotes mental well-being in young people and equips them to face the realities of life. In present scenario when there are so many challenges in day-to-day life it becomes necessary to understand the concept of life skills and the reasons for its indispensability in today’s world.
