The International Day of Happiness, observed annually on March 20, aims to raise awareness about the importance of happiness as a fundamental human right and a key component of healthy living.
The International Day of Happiness was first observed by the United Nations in 2013, following a resolution initiated by Bhutan, a country that prioritizes national happiness over national income. This initiative stemmed from Bhutan's advocacy for Gross National Happiness as a measure of progress.
The theme for International Day of Happiness 2024 is "Reconnecting for Happiness: Building Resilient Communities." This theme underscores the importance of fostering connections and building strong, supportive communities to enhance overall well-being and happiness.
International Day of Happiness is celebrated worldwide, with various activities and events organized to promote happiness and well-being. It encourages people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds to participate in spreading positivity and kindness.
