Nagpur: The Second Capital of the State celebrated ‘World Happiness Day’ on March 20, along with the rest of the world. To mark this occasion, the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network released its annual report called the World Happiness Report.
The report measures global happiness based on several standards, including national and international aspects. Despite India’s ranking improving by 10 ranks in the report, India’s performance at 126 is being criticized for its low rank, as many small neighbors of India are ranked higher.
