LIFE SKILLS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME
FOR THE STUDENTS OF
KENDRIYA VIDYALAYA, VASANT KUNJ, NEW DELHI

Skills and attitudes formed during childhood carry over into adulthood. A skill is a learned ability to do something well. Life skills are abilities individuals can learn that will help them to be successful in living a productive and satisfying life.
While focusing on holistic development of youth, the Kendra decided to initiate Life Skills Development programme in Schools. The first programme was organised for ClassX students of Kendriya Vidyalaya, Vasant Kunj in two batches. Mr. Lalit Sharma, Director, Life Creadles and Mr. Ajit Kumar Rai, Programme Officer, Vishwa Yuvak Kendra facilitated the sessions. Two days programme on Life Skills Development covered sessions on:

40 students participated in 1st Batch which was organized from 16-17 April, 2008 and 38 students participated in 2nd batch which was organised from 23-24 April 2008. Students' response to the programme was overwhelming as it was not only a gateway for them from their routine life which is mostly confined to competitiveness, career choice and pressure from all angles: peer, parents and teachers to do well academically, but also a mirror to look into themselves.
