- The Gross National Happiness (GNH) balances economic development, cultural resilience, environmental conservation and good governance.
- These four pillars are substantiated with 9 domains and 124 sub-indicators.

3. Publicly funded education
- Education for children in Bhutan is publicly funded till 10th standard after which only students who manage to pass their board examinations will be sponsored in higher secondary school.
- Students who are not selected for government-funded further education can continue their studies in private higher secondary schools or do vocational training in private training institutes, both of which are, of course, more cost-intensive.

- Although Bhutan is not as polluted as its South Asian neighbours, the government has already taken steps to encourage the use of renewable sources of energy that do not cause pollution and affect the air quality.

- The people of Bhutan actively take part in the planting of trees as the nation's constitution dictates that 60% of the country's land area must be under forest cover.
- Just last year a group of volunteers in the country planted over 49000 trees in an hour and very recently 108,000 trees were planted to celebrate the birth of the King's son.
