Bhutan's Four Pillars of GNH

Bhutan’s Four Pillars of Gross National Happiness (GNH) are a framework for guiding the country’s development to ensure overall well-being. They include sustainable and equitable development, conservation of the environment, preservation of cultural values, and good governance. This approach emphasizes balancing economic progress with environmental sustainability, cultural identity, and effective leadership, aiming to improve the quality of life for all citizens rather than focusing solely on GDP growth. By integrating these pillars, Bhutan seeks holistic progress that nurtures happiness, cultural integrity, and long-term sustainability.
