'Happy Planet Index': South Asia is Happy but not Rich
'The Happy Planet Index' published The New Economics Foundation (NEF) has caused some uproar in the cyber world. If you like then you can download the full report at free of cost from this link.
 
According to NEF this report is:
"An index of human well-being and environmental impact', moves beyond crude ratings of nations according to national income, measured by Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to produce a more accurate picture of the progress of nations based on the amount of the Earth's resources they use, and the length and happiness of people's lives."
 
In the report, a list has been provided about the ranking of the countries. Let me give you the ranks of South Asian countries:
Bhutan                        :13
Sri Lanka                   :15
Maldives                     :39
Bangladesh               : 41
Nepal                          : 54
India                            : 62
Pakistan                     : 112
 
It seems that except Pakistan, people of the all the other South Asian countries are doing well in the happiness index. You may get surprised to see Bhutan having such an impressive position but do not forget that Bhutan is the only country in the world that has placed more importance to increase Gross National Happiness (GNH) than Gross National Product (GDP).
 
It is always an interesting matter to me to think that South Asian countries are doing so well in the happiness index but are still very poor. Yes, money cannot always bring happiness but happiness should bring some money. Don't you think so?
