Life Skill Counselling

Life skills play a crucial role in enhancing an individual's ability to meet the challenges and demands of modern society. Recognizing this, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) in India has emphasized the importance of developing both scholastic and co-scholastic skills, incorporating life skills education as a mandatory component of its curriculum. Global organizations such as UNICEF, UNESCO, and WHO have identified ten core life skills :

• Self-awareness
• Critical thinking
• Creative thinking
• Decision making
• Problem-solving
• Effective communication
• Interpersonal relationships
• Empathy
• Coping with stress
• Coping with emotions

It is widely believed that life skills education bridges the gap between basic functions and personal capabilities. By focusing on these skills, students can address real-life challenges in a practical and constructive way.

Life skills education takes into account essential psychosocial competencies and interpersonal skills, equipping students to make informed decisions, solve problems, think critically and creatively, communicate effectively, foster healthy relationships, empathize with others, and manage their lives in a positive and productive manner.

At GDGPS Budaun, we are committed to nurturing these skills, as they are the tools that will help students face the complexities of daily life. A student with a strong emotional and mental foundation is better prepared to handle any challenges that come their way, both today and in the future. Our goal is to empower students to navigate difficult situations with resilience, strength, and the right mindset.
