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.
