Tata Chem DAV Public School is a senior secondary school, where students from different socio economic  groups are studying with different expectations of the group and society  but  Individual expectation and interests are equally important. Guidance and counselling plays an important role in preventing educational, personal, social, mental emotional and other similar problems among school students. The students are not so mature  to critically evaluate baffling situations are continuously faced with. They seek somebody’s help in the solution of problems and thus avoid tensions , stress  and conflicts. The need for guidance and counselling in modern times has increased because of the multiplicity of problems that the individuals have to face in the various spheres  of life. In a democratic country like India every citizen has to play a pivotal role in the development and growth  of the nation. Therefore, it is generally accepted  that a citizen must be educated in such a way that it would develop certain desirable life skills.  It may enrich his intellectual and social skills helpful to lead a purposeful and successful life. Life skills based education helps children understand themselves, their friends and their world.
