Jigyasa - Rekhi Center of Excellence for the Science of Happiness

Jigyasa University (Formerly Himgiri Zee University) has taken the initiative to establish the Centre of Excellence for the Science of Happiness in its campus in collaboration with the Rekhi foundation. We proudly announce that this is the FIRST HAPPINESS CENTRE IN THE STATE OF UTTARAKHAND established in December 2023 to work for the cause of Positive Psychology and Mental Health that is directly responsible for the general happiness of human beings. Jigyasa University (Formerly Himgiri Zee University) has signed an MoU with the Rekhi Foundation for Happiness to work hand in hand to promote research, training, education and the practice of well-being for all. The Centre is dedicated to launch courses and promote research in the science of happiness to work towards enhancing the quality of life around us. It will basically work on improving the individual life of people as well as the community and family life. Happiness is the trait that contributes to everybody’s success and satisfaction. Therefore, fostering and promoting the idea of happiness and well-being for all and working towards it, is the need of the hour. People around us suffer due to anxiety, stress and tension due to several reasons. The Centre’s approach is towards understanding the causes of such anxiety and stress and work to understand positive emotions that bring happiness.

Currently, these Happiness Centre’s and Laboratories are operative in many institutions, such as IIT Kharagpur, DTU Delhi, IGDTUW, Delhi, Amity University, Noida, NSUT, Delhi and IIM Lucknow. This is our proud privilege that the vibrant campus of Jigyasa University (Formerly Himgiri Zee University) is one among the premier institutions of national importance to establish the Centre of Excellence for the Science of Happiness.
