What is the International Day of Happiness
                     What is the International Day 
of Happiness 
 
The International Day of Happiness is celebrated annually 
on March 20th. It was established by the United Nations 
in 2012 to recognize the importance of happiness and 
well-being as fundamental human goals. The day aims to 
promote the idea that progress should be measured not 
only by economic indicators but also by the overall 
happiness and well-being of individuals and societies. 
 
The International Day of Happiness encourages people 
around the world to focus on what makes them happy 
and to spread happiness to others. Various activities and 
events are organized on this day, including community 
gatherings, seminars on happiness and well-being, 
volunteer work, and acts of kindness. 
 
The theme of happiness is emphasized as a universal 
human right, and efforts are made to raise awareness 
about the importance of mental health, positive 
relationships, and sustainable living for promoting 
happiness and well-being globally. 
 
The International Day of Happiness serves as a reminder 
that happiness is not only a personal pursuit but also a 
collective responsibility, and that promoting happiness 
can contribute to building a more peaceful, equitable, 
and sustainable world for present and future 
generations.
