Life Skills can be defined as the ability to cope with stresses and challenges of daily life.

Today, despite the deep cultural changes in the way of life, many people have not the basic and required skills in dealing with life problems. Life Skills modify behavior by converting ‘what we know’ and ‘what we think/ feel and believe’ into ‘what to do’ and ‘how to do’.Higher Secondary Students are in adolescent period. They are eager to explore freedom and responsibility. This may lead them into risk situations and therefore they need life skills. Life skills will help them to cope up with problem and to take responsible decisions and to communicate effectively.
