It delves into how Bhutan's focus on happiness as a guiding principle of governance has influenced various sectors, with particular attention given to shifts in public perception, social development, and environmental sustainability. Additionally, the session discusses how the GNH Index serves as a tool for policymakers to evaluate the impact of government initiatives and measure the country's overall progress toward achieving a balance between economic growth and well-being.

Through the 2022 results, the session provides valuable insights into Bhutan's unique development path and reflects on the challenges and successes encountered in promoting happiness as a national goal.
