Gross National Happiness Index

The Gross National Happiness (GNH) Index is a way to measure a country's overall well-being beyond just economic performance. It considers factors like health, education, mental well-being, community vitality, cultural preservation, good governance, and environmental sustainability. Unlike GDP, which focuses solely on economic output, GNH aims to assess how happy and satisfied people are with their lives and the country's development. This approach recognizes that a nation's success involves more than money—it includes the quality of life, social cohesion, and environmental health, promoting balanced progress for both people and their environment.
