International Day of Happiness is being celebrated worldwide on Monday.
In a session of the United Nations General Assembly on June 28, 2012, it was decided to observe the day. Since then, many countries around the world have been celebrating the day with various events every year.
The proposal of the United Nations General Assembly on celebrating the Day of Happiness states that the main purpose of human life is to be happy.
The day will be observed to ensure the happiness and prosperity of every people in the world including sustainable development through balanced economic growth, and eradication of poverty.
On this day, the United Nations publishes the list of happiest countries by conducting a full-year survey of the countries.
