Abstract: The present education system is emphasizing upon skill based education and trying to prepare the individual to deal with the global world. For achieving this goal, our education system introduces a rigorous curriculum for the students in which they have to study four or five subjects everyday and thus they have to learn about the multiple concepts. This busy schedule has caused a lot of burden on the children and they feel stressful and anxious all the time. This thing also restricts the child to think critically and with open mindedness and also due to this they do not find time to discover their inner potential. So for addressing it Delhi Government has taken the initiative to introduce Happiness curriculum in their schools where children can learn in stress free environment with no fear of formal assessment. If we look at our NEP 2020, it is also giving the idea of happiness curriculum because this policy is also emphasizing on activity based learning and also have recommended some bagless days for children 6 to 8 standard. So, this paper explores the need and importance of Happiness curriculum in our education system.
