Bhutan Meditation Conference
About the Centre
Centre for Bhutan & GNH Studies (CBS) is an autonomous government research institute for social science and public policy. It conducts inter-disciplinary studies on Bhutanโs economy, polity, history, religion, society, culture, and other related themes. One of the major areas of focus since mid-2000s was on deepening the understanding of Gross National Happiness concept to influence public policy and development discourse. Towards this end, the Centre developed GNH Index, GNH Policy Screening Tools, and GNH of Business Assessment Tools to integrate GNH into national planning process and businesses. The Centre also promotes scholarship on Bhutan through publications and dissemination, organising national and international conferences, seminars, and eminent lecture series.
