Find Out Why Bhutan is Called the Land of Happiness

One of the unique things about Bhutan can be seen in its measurement for progress using GNH or Gross National Happiness. It was introduced by the Fourth King, His Majesty Jigme Singye Wangchuck, to ensure that Bhutan’s people were happier than just economically well off. GNH is based on four pillars of sustainable development, environmental conservation, cultural preservation, and good governance. This comprehensive approach to governance does not only maintain equilibrium in the nation’s evolution but also leads to happiness and well-being-oriented policies.
