Life skills are the skills that make students ready to face the outer world and enable them to cope up with the competition ahead. In this fast running world, learning ABCD and tough theorems is not sufficient to ace the competition. Life skills play a crucial role along with academics knowledge in both professional as well as personal growth of an individual. These enable students to handle daily issues in an effective manner.
