Understanding the Concept of Life Skills
The concept of life skills is fundamentally centered around the daily routines and tasks that comprise our lifestyle. For most people, these skills are acquired naturally through observation and practice within their surroundings. However, individuals with intellectual disabilities often face challenges in learning these basic life skills from their environment alone.
The Role of Navkshitij in Holistic Development
Recognizing these challenges, Navkshitij is dedicated to facilitating the holistic development of individuals with intellectual disabilities. At Navkshitij, each resident’s journey towards independence and rehabilitation begins with a carefully tailored plan. These plans encompass various aspects of development, starting from activities of daily living and extending to comprehensive rehabilitation strategies. Since the needs and abilities of each individual differ, the plans are customized accordingly.
Focus on Life Skills Training
A cornerstone of Navkshitij’s approach is life skills training, which forms an integral part of the rehabilitation process for individuals with intellectual disabilities. This training encompasses both group and individual activities designed to address a range of practical and social skills.
Individual Activities
Individual tasks may include:
- Learning how to clean personal clothing.
- Understanding appropriate behaviors related to personal hygiene and privacy.
- Basic safety measures around handling electrical equipment and fire safety.
Recognizing that mastering these skills may take time, tasks are broken down into manageable steps to ensure gradual progress and success.
Group Activities
In group teaching activities, special friends are taught:
- How to interact with women and strangers appropriately.
- Social interaction skills to navigate social settings with confidence and respect.
- Communication techniques and coping strategies to manage stress and emotions effectively.
Emphasis on Practical and Social Skills
Navkshitij places a strong emphasis on the development of both practical and social
skills. This holistic approach ensures that individuals are well-equipped to handle

Collaboration is key to the success of Navkshitij’s approach.
