What is Gross National Happiness?
Bhutan is famous for its 'Gross National Happiness' (GNH) index, a unique development philosophy introduced in 1971. It measures the collective happiness and well-being of its population, guiding policy decisions. The new Mindfulness City, aiming for green tech and education, aligns with GNH by balancing economic progress with cultural and environmental preservation.
