Life Skill Counselling

Life Skills strengthens the ability of an individual to meet the needs and demands of the present society. The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has recognised this fact and has made life skill education a compulsory element in its curriculum. World bodies such as UNICEF, UNESCO, and WHO list the ten core Life Skills as follows:

It has been felt that life skills education bridges the gap between basic functioning and capabilities. A relevant life skill education helps in dealing with the above issues in a manner to get desired behaviour practical.

Life skills training / education takes into account psychosocial competencies and interpersonal skills that help students to take right decisions, solve problems, think critically and creatively, communicate effectively, build healthy relationships, empathise with others, and cope with managing their lives in a healthy and productive manner.

We at GDGPS Siliguri take these skill developments very seriously as these are the very tools that will help one face complications on a day-to-day basis. A student with a strong emotional and mental base can prove to be a very worthy adversary for all that life will make him/her face, either today or tomorrow — and therefore, our focus is to make you stronger and capable to figure out how to behave and handle adverse situations and times.
