The
dynamic concept of Gross National Happiness has played vital roles in brining a
balanced development. It has substantially been a prime focus of educators and
policy makers to make the idea of GNH philosophy more approachable and
understandable. The very broad approach of GNH has not only drawn attention of
researchers at home, but also researchers from abroad, including Bhutan’s
development partners.
Nonetheless, it is also important to note that development, no wonder bears negative connotation on the mental wellbeing and happiness of the people. On the other hand, development philosophy which serves the purpose of enhancing human development and satisfaction without compromising nature is, GNH. There are a number of important units’ in Sherubtse College, which are so designed to promote important dimensions of GNH, including achieving its prime motives. Therefore, one of the key focuses of this symposium is on Education and discourses, upheld by units in Sherubtse.
Centre
for Bhutan studies and similar research centers have tried to explore and reach
out for better understanding, while they did to some extent, there is still
more to find out and discuss about the approaches and ideas surrounding GNH. In
the light of this reason, this symposium is supposed to dispel the vague ideas
that people have about GNH learning within various units at Sherubtse.
