In recent times, the need for developing stronger life skills has become more acute.
Focusing on building life skills in the next generation is imperative in enabling them to handle
different situations capably. In a country like India, where a vast majority of the population is young, life skill development enables young people to direct and manage their lives positively.
We work in tandem with local and state governments across Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, Maharashtra and Mizoram to contextualize and rationalize life skills. In the next three years, LSC will partner with four State Governments to build and roll out these assessments to over 40,000 students, 1,000 teachers and 100 State government officials.
We are a collaborative of several seasoned organisations across sectors in India.
