Bhutan's Gross National Happiness Index

Bhutan’s Gross National Happiness (GNH) is a unique approach to development that prioritizes the well-being of its citizens over solely economic growth. It considers factors like health, education, cultural preservation, good governance, environmental sustainability, and psychological well-being. The goal is to create a balanced society where progress enhances overall happiness and quality of life. GNH encourages policies that support spiritual, cultural, environmental, and social values, viewing happiness as a vital measure of a nation’s success rather than only income or material wealth.
