The fierce competition in global scenario investigates youth to embark the challenges of life. Unfortunately shifting life styles, nuclear homes, materialistic desires and redundant pedagogy of education has paved way for an upsurge growth in stress, anxiety, suicidal tendencies among youth. They lack the desired leadership, creative, emotional intelligence skills, which sums up together as life skills, required for sustainability in personal and professional dimensions. The crux of the problem is that critical thinking, problem solving and application of concepts are in short supply among youth, as they never had exposure to it. In respect to India more than 700 million Indians are expected to be of working age group by 2022; although by FICCI skills report 2012 only 25% professionals are employable. The scenario is alarming, as by year 2030, half of India’s population will be younger than 28. The research paper tries to co-relate the lack of life skills education in youth’s formative years which leads to low conceptual, creative ability leading to dearth of leaders in pipeline through a pilot survey of MBA students regarding their life skills quotient. The paper proposes to nurture leadership skills by imparting life skills education in the foundation days itself.Keywords

Lesser number of promotion opportunities in the higher echelons of hierarchy often leads to discontentment which often paves way for premature retirement of the officer. Camaraderie starts missing among officers as well as Personel Below Officers Bank (PBOR)s Emotional intelligence of higher authorities with appropriate soft skills becomes pertinent at this crucial juncture as lack of it leads to negated energy. The research paper measures emotional intelligence in air force officers and focuses on its importance. The sample size included 200 personnel [150 officers +50 airmen] of different ranks. The methodology used was interview, observation and questionnaire adapted from Hendrie Weisinger 'Emotional Intelligence at Work' (San Francisco; jossey-bass, 1998) pp 214-215. Out of 300 questionnaires distributed 200 were returned duly filled between the month from October to December 2015. Data was analyzed using ANNOVA and F test. The results were quite shocking as the graph portrayed a clear picture of rising EI in officers with promotions but downturn with those who missed it. The research paper analyses causes for u turn of EI even after serving for 20 year in service and proposes recommendations based on analysis of primary and secondary data.Keywords

Ideology of sustainable development is based upon education not as an end result but as a beginning by nurturing appropriate life skills which leads to harness both the present and future demands (Nsaminang 2007). Though India is positioned at 60th rank in Global Innovation Index report (2017) unfortunately over 90% of Indian start-ups fail within the first five year since their inception. (Report of IBM NYSE: IBM 2017). This research paper attempts to explain the role of education, family support and societal culture in harnessing life skills which act as mediator variable for the growth of entrepreneurship. The paper uses descriptive research design by administrating questionnaire to 200 B. Tech and MBA final year students of Hyderabad between September-November 2017. Respondents opine that education in schools and colleges are not providing requisite skills sets and exposure for entrepreneurship. Life skills grooming through education are still in nascent stage as rote learning passive mode pedagogy is followed. Further family and society significantly influences student’s choice to venture into entrepreneurship.Keywords
