Yes, it's a day all for happiness!

The United nations have come up with the campaign of the International Day of Happiness to mark a global celebration on happiness and its need in the present scenario.

Coordinated by the Action for Happiness, a non-profit movement of people from almost 160 countries, supported by the partnership of like-minded organisations, the day is celebrated annually on March 20. The UN celebrates the day to recognise the importance of happiness in the lives of people around the world.

Theme 2020

The International Day of Happiness 2020 focuses on the theme "Happiness for all," focusing on what we have in common, rather than what divides us. The previous year celebrations were organised under the theme "Happier Together."
