Happiness has always been a profound human pursuit, more treasured than monetary success or even spiritual achievements. Recognizing that our world needs more than just technically skilled professionals, we've created a unique department that focuses on nurturing the heart and mind of our students. Since our establishment on August 16th, 2019, our vision has been clear: to transform education by teaching not just knowledge, but the essential skills of happiness, compassion, and personal growth. We believe that true success is measured not only by academic achievements but by an individual's ability to spread joy, show empathy, and contribute meaningfully to society. Our innovative happiness curriculum spans various disciplines, offering specialized courses that range from 30 to 45 hours, targeting students across different programs – from Medical and Nursing to Liberal Arts and Sciences. Through carefully designed programs, we teach our students critical skills like self-care, communication, leadership, and emotional resilience. Our ultimate goal is to produce graduates who are not just professionally competent, but who are emotionally intelligent, tolerant, and capable of creating positive change in their workplaces and communities. By integrating happiness as a core educational philosophy, we are pioneering a new approach that prepares students to be not just successful professionals, but compassionate human beings who can truly make a difference in the world.
Happiness Course is currently being taught across various Allied and Science courses. In the current semester, the 30 hr Certificate course is being taught to BRIT, BMLT, BCA, B.Sc. Biotechnology, M.Sc. Medical and a tailored 45Hr Course for B.A/B.Sc Liberal Education. Additionally, a 10 hr Happiness Orientation course is taught to MBBS students.
