Tucked away in the picturesque hill ranges of north-east, Mizoram has always been a favourite among tourists. But now Mizoram is making headlines for another reason.
Mizoram is the happiest state in the country. The north-eastern state has topped the India Happiness Report 2020.
This is the first time that India is releasing a happiness report. It was prepared by a professor of strategy, Rajesh K Pillania, of the Management Development Institute in Gurugram.
All the states and the union territories in the country were part of the survey. Mizoram is followed by Andaman-Nicobar Islands, Punjab, Gujarat, and Uttar Pradesh on the happy list.
Family relations and friendships, income and growth, work-related issues, social issues, physical and mental well-being, religious and spiritual matters and whether COVID-19 affected lives are the major parameters on which happiness was measured.
The survey also pointed out that gender differences did not affect the happiness quotient. Instead, age, marriage, income, and education had a more crucial role in determining a person’s happiness.
Married couples are more happy than single people, as per the survey.
