In the entire world (except Bhutan!), the “measure to measure<\/em>” the country’s progress is “G<\/strong>ross D<\/strong>omestic P<\/strong>roduct<\/em>” (called “GDP<\/em><\/strong>“)\u00a0 or G<\/strong>ross N<\/strong>ational P<\/strong>roduct<\/em> (called “GNP<\/em><\/strong>“) where money & income is considered as the primary goal. Bhutan has developed its own philosophy which is “excellent & brilliant<\/em>” & its called: G<\/strong>ross N<\/strong>ational<\/em> H<\/strong>appiness<\/em> (“GNH<\/strong><\/em>“). In 1972, the king of Bhutan said: GNH is more important than GNP<\/em> (Well, that’s right! Isn’t it?).Bhutan considers the happiness & well-being of people as it’s guide.

Since it’s inception & implementation in Bhutan, GNH has curated international recognition resulting in declaration of “International Day of Happiness<\/strong><\/em>” by United Nations! Really, GNH is a big idea from a small country that is changing the perception\u00a0 of world on how we measure development by imbibing an element of collective happiness & well-being in it!<\/p>\n
