Bhutan Gross National Happiness Index

The Bhutan Gross National Happiness (GNH) Index is a holistic measure used to evaluate the well-being and quality of life in Bhutan, beyond just economic growth. It considers factors such as health, education, environment, cultural preservation, good governance, and community vitality. The goal is to ensure development that benefits both individuals and society, fostering a balanced and sustainable approach to progress. Unlike traditional GDP, GNH emphasizes happiness and overall well-being as key indicators of national success. This approach helps guide policies that promote not only economic development but also social harmony and environmental sustainability.
