About the Project

The Gross National Happiness (GNH) Index is an innovative tool designed to assess and promote the well-being and happiness of populations. Unlike conventional measures that focus solely on economic output, the GNH Index considers multiple dimensions of well-being, including psychological health, education, culture, environment, and community vitality.

Here are the main factors or criteria used:
  • Psychological Well-being
  • Health
  • Education
  • Cultural Diversity and Resilience
  • Time Use
  • Good Governance
  • Community Vitality
  • Ecological Diversity and Resilience
  • Living Standards
  • Work

Why GNH Matters?

Traditional metrics like Gross Domestic Product (GDP) fail to capture the true essence of human well-being. The Gross National Happiness (GNH) Index offers a more nuanced approach, highlighting the importance of mental health, social connections, environmental quality, and cultural richness. By focusing on these areas, we aim to create a more balanced and fulfilling society.

Our Objectives:

Well-Being

Promote Sustainable Development

Encourage policies and practices that prioritize long-term sustainability and environmental stewardship, ensuring a balanced and healthy future for all.

Inspire Global
Change
