Abstract Today's education system is lopsided as it provides more of knowledge related concepts than skill, attitude and value oriented education. 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. 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. Swami Vivekananda has said that education is the divine perfection already existing in man. Generally the term life skills refers to a group of psycho-social and interpersonal skills which can help people make informed decisions, communicate effectively , and think critically. They face many emerging issues such as global warming, famines, poverty, suicide, population explosion as well as other issues like alcoholism, drug abuse, sexual abuse, smoking, juvenile delinquency, anti-social acts, etc. Education‟ is important, but education to support and live life better is more important. In this paper the need of life skill education has been discussed and some activities are suggested to develop the life skills among students. The present discourse will focus on the above mentioned issue through the article entitled as “Impact/ Role Of Life Skills Education At Secondary Education Level”
