सार

With the assumption that developing certain life skills can bring empowerment in women, an intervention study was carried out on women of Varanasi. Pre-test Post-test quasi-experimental research design was used in the study, where the sample comprised eighteen rural women. The life skills intervention (13 sessions) was done for selected ten life skills. Life Skills Inventory for Women was used for pre-test and post-test assessments, to check the level of life skills before and after the intervention. Mean, standard deviation, and t-tests were used for data analysis. The findings of the study indicated that all the participants differed significantly in life skills levels after the intervention. The level of life skills increased in the case of rural women; therefore, it can be concluded that the intervention programme-life skills module was found effective for them. The findings provide a foundation for designing a course/programme to facilitate the development of life skills among rural women.
