To meet day-to-day challenges and needs, Holistic development is an overall development of an individual in the areas pertaining to Intellectual, Mental, Physical, Emotional, and social skills. The most common skills which come under this aforementioned are logical thinking, creative skills, language skills, imaginative skills, self-awareness, etc.
