Bhutan Launches Gelephu Mindfulness City to Curb Youth Emigration

Bhutan, long celebrated for its national happiness philosophy, is grappling with a growing wave of youth emigration. To address this, the government has announced plans for Gelephu Mindfulness City, a development project designed to balance economic growth with cultural and environmental values. The initiative aims to create opportunities that encourage young Bhutanese citizens to remain in the country rather than seek prospects abroad. India is supporting the project through infrastructure development and rail connectivity. Authorities hope the city will serve as a model for sustainable development while stemming the outflow of the country's youth.
