His Majesty travels regularly to far-flung and inaccessible parts of the country, visiting people’s homes and awarding kidu (grants) to hundreds of people in need.
[Gross National Happiness] is the bridge between the fundamental values of Kindness, Equality and Humanity and the necessary pursuit of economic growth. GNH acts as our National Conscience guiding us towards making wise decisions for a better future. It ensures that no matter what our nation may seek to achieve, the human dimension, the individual’s place in the nation, is never forgotten. It is a constant reminder that we must strive for a caring leadership so that as the world and country changes, as our nation’s goals change, our foremost priority will always remain the happiness and well-being of our people – including the generations to come after us.
