Mizoram: Rajesh K. Pillania, professor of strategy at the Management Development Institute in Gurugram, declared Mizoram India’s happiest state. A state with a 100 per cent literacy rate offers people opportunities for growth.
The report states, “Mizoram’s happiness index is based on six parameters including family relationships, work-related issues, social issues and philanthropy, religion, COVID-19‘s effect on happiness, and physical and mental health.”
It added, “A student of the Government Mizo High School (GMHS) in Aizawl, Mizoram, has had to face many difficulties since his father abandoned his family when he was young. Despite this, he remains optimistic and excels in his studies. He hopes to become a chartered accountant or appear for civil services exams if his first choice does not work out.”
In the state school teachers frequently meet students and their parents so that they can solve their problems. A student said, “Our teachers are our best friends, we are not scared or shy of sharing with them anything.”
The Sister of a private school teacher said, “It is the upbringing that adds to youth being happy or not, we are a casteless society. Also, parental pressure for studies is less here.”
The report further added, “No task is considered too small and youths typically find employment around the age of 16 or 17. This is encouraged, and there is no discrimination between girls and boys.”
Mizoram has a high number of broken families, yet having many friends in similar situations, working women, and financial independence from a young age ensures that children are not abandoned.
