International Happiness Day

Not long ago, the United Nations declared March 20th as International Happiness Day or International Day of Happiness. Bhutan proposed this day to the UN in lieu of  'the need for a more inclusive, equitable and balanced approach to the economic growth that promoted sustainable development and poverty eradication, and the happiness and wellbeing of all people.'

Now it is declared a government holiday in Bhutan for people to enjoy life.
