One school from selected village was taken to draw the rural sample. For urban sample, two schools were selected. Hundred adolescents from each schools of rural and urban were (14-16 years) equally representing both the sexes i.e. 100 girls and 100 boys were selected on random basis. Results showed that life skills of urban and rural adolescents were high in self-awareness, empathy, interpersonal relationship skills, average in problem solving, critical thinking, coping with stress, creative thinking, coping with emotions, effective communication and low in decision making.
