Bhutan (GNH - Gross National Happiness)

Bhutan’s Gross National Happiness (GNH) is a holistic approach to development that balances economic growth with cultural preservation, environmental sustainability, and overall well-being. Instead of focusing solely on GDP, Bhutan measures success through nine domains, including health, education, good governance, community vitality, and ecological resilience. This framework aims to create a harmonious society where people thrive physically, mentally, and spiritually, ensuring that progress benefits both individuals and the environment. GNH reflects Bhutan’s belief that true development is about improving quality of life sustainably, fostering happiness as a national priority.
