Unique 50 Ideas for International Day of Happiness celebration at school, office, society and all other places
On 20 of March marks International Day of Happiness, an annual event celebrated all around the world. It's a day set aside to highlight the value of spreading joy and fostering a more positive global community.
Bhutan, a small country in the Himalayas, floated the idea of a special day dedicated to celebrating joy in 2011. It was proposed by Bhutan that the United Nations (UN) designate a day dedicated to promoting happiness because the country is known for assessing its success by the Gross National Happiness (GNH) index rather than Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The inaugural International Day of Happiness was held in 2013, after the concept was approved.

The goal of celebrating March 20 as International Day of Happiness is to raise awareness of the concept that everyone has the right to pursue happiness and to inspire others to take positive action toward that end. In doing so, it hopes to encourage people to put their attention on the good things in life and spread the message that mental health is just as important as physical health.
The goal of the International Day of Happiness is to inspire people from all walks of life and all levels of government to work together for the common good. Kindness, empathy, thankfulness, and mindfulness are all part of a healthy lifestyle, as are activities that improve one's physical and mental health.
International Day of Happiness should be celebrated annually because spreading the message that happiness is a collective responsibility is vital. By putting a premium on joy and contentment, we can build societies that are more caring and mutually supportive, increase opportunities for people to better themselves and the environment around them, and help to ensure the planet's long-term viability.
