Book excerpt: Life skills are the abilities that help in promotion of mental and social wellbeing and competence in women to face the realities of life. The ultimate aim of life skills education is the overall development of women personality which cannot be achieved without exposing women to various life skills. The ten core (generic) Life skills as listed by WHO are self-awareness, Empathy, Critical Thinking, Creative Thinking, Decision Making, Problem Solving, Effective Communication, Interpersonal Relationships, Coping with stress and Managing Emotions. Life skill education lays the foundation for learning skills which enhance self-direction of the individual. It would be a way of empowering women to build their lives and their dreams. It would be a means of handholding them through the critical stages in their life and helping them tap their potential to the fullest. Thereby, it is hoped that the current education system with its oppressive rigidity would open up and make life skills education a part of its mainstream group. This would enable the country to build individuals who believe in themselves, who are efficient leaders and administrators, who are able to understand their potentials and achieve them.
