Abstract The objective of this research work is to explore Bihu as a life skill education that enables the Assamese community people to cope with different mental health issues of their daily lives. Bihu is the most vibrant cultural festival of Assam which is celebrated three times in a year named Bohag or Rongali Bihu (mid of April), Kati or Kongali Bihu (mid of October) and Magh or Bhogali Bihu (mid of January). Bihu is the life line of Assamese people and all the daily-life activities of Assamese people is reflected on it. Additionally, different life skills are associated with Bihu festival such as self-awareness, creativity, problem-solving, interpersonal relationship, coping with stress, coping with emotion, resilience etc. These are reflected through different cultural activities like Bihu dance, Bihu songs, food, community gathering etc. Against this backdrop, different mental health issues like anxiety, depression, stress etc. are increasing rapidly among the community people of Assam. Therefore, if we incorporate Bihu with life skill education, that will be helpful to aware those regions where mental health awareness is limited and neglected. This festive environment reduces anxiety, isolation and promotes cultural identity which is very helpful for developing positive mental health. In this study, it is reflected that Bihu is not only limited to cultural celebrations; but also, it promotes coping skills naturally which in turn regulates emotions properly and supports mental well-being of the Assamese community people. Moreover, the researchers employed a qualitative research approach for collecting the relevant data from different primary and secondary sources such as participation, observation, different books, research articles, interviews, newspapers, etc.
Keywords Bihu, Assam, life skill education, mental health issues.
