A skill is a learned ability. Life Skills are those competencies that assist people in functioning well in the environments in which they live. Life skills have been defined by the World Health Organisation as “the abilities for adaptive and positive behavior that enable individuals to deal effectively with the demands and challenges of everyday life”. UNICEF defines life skills as “a behaviour change or behaviour development approach designed to address a balance of three areas: knowledge, attitude and skills”. Life skills include psychosocial abilities and interpersonal skills that help people take decisions, solve problems, think critically, communicate effectively, build healthy relationships, empathize with others, and cope with the stress and strain of life in a healthy and productive manner. Essentially, there are two kinds of skills - those related to thinking called "thinking skills" and skills related to dealing with others called "social skills". While thinking skills relate to the personal level, social skills include interpersonal skills. It is the combination of these two types of skills that are needed for achieving assertive behaviour and negotiating effectively.

The education, today, needs to enable a child to deal effectively with the environment, make maximum use of resources, discern available opportunities and face the challenges of society. To enable these behavioural transformations in the child, the system needs to enrich the school curriculum with a highly researched and effective life skills training programme. Life skills are essentially those abilities that help promoting mental well being and competence in young people as they face the realities of life. Life skills education is an effective tool for empowering the youth to act responsibly, take initiative and control over stress and emotions. It is based on the assumption that when young people are able to rise above emotional impasses arising from daily conflicts, entangled relationships and peer pressure, they are less likely to resort to anti social or high risk behaviours such as alcoholism, drug abuse and casual relationships.. In this paper the the need of life skill education has been discussed and some activities are suggested to to develop the life skills among students. The individual today is confused and baffled by the exposure to the limitless information and choices based on that orientation. Although not lacking in knowledge, the learner certain times find it difficult to face the challenges of the day to day life. Education today is unable to prepare the learner to fight with frustration, anxiety and depression. There is a lot of stress on achievement and performance from the teachers and parents. Children are pushed to do much more than customary to get the desired acceptance and acknowledgement from the family and society circle.(Subita, 2013) Sometimes when the pressure of subscribing to high expectations gets overwhelming, they fall back and are labelled by the school and society as a Scholarly Research Journal's is licensed Based on a work at www.srjis.com
