Bhutan Has Pioneered This Amazing Philosophy To Measure Country’s Progress!

In the entire world (except Bhutan!), the “measure to measure” the country’s progress is “Gross Domestic Product” (called “GDP“)  or Gross National Product (called “GNP“) where money & income is considered as the primary goal. Bhutan has developed its own philosophy which is “excellent & brilliant” & its called: Gross National Happiness (“GNH“). In 1972, the king of Bhutan said: GNH is more important than GNP (Well, that’s right! Isn’t it?).Bhutan considers the happiness & well-being of people as it’s guide. Under GNH, it’s not income but the collective happiness which is primary goal. Since it’s inception & implementation in Bhutan, GNH has curated international recognition resulting in declaration of “International Day of Happiness” by United Nations! Really, GNH is a big idea from a small country that is changing the perception  of world on how we measure development by imbibing an element of collective happiness & well-being in it!
