It is observed that many students in the current era have low self-esteem and they are facing intrapersonal and interpersonal problems related to academic, family, peers or career and they are needed to be encouraged towards the improvement of employability and social development. Working environment in the modern world is different from what they learned in the class room because of global competition, cultural diversity, latest technologies and lack of critical thinking. Literature suggests that one of the most unfortunate limitations of the text oriented education is the lack of creativity. Creativity is the ability to re-define, re-create and/or reproduce things by firstly questioning them, then by looking at them from a fresher, different angle or perspective, and finally by formulating and/or producing a renewed, different alternative of the very thing that is being looked at.
