Happiness and Well-being Project, coordinated by the Paro College of Education (PCE) for the nine colleges under the Royal University of Bhutan (RUB), is on track.

European Union (EU) has certified the overall progress of the project as ‘good’ in the last two reports.

Project Officer, Pelden Dorji Dadil Jamtsho, said: “Due to the good certification, we received budget on time which is crucial to carry out activities. “Fund is from EU’s Erasmus+ programme under its capacity-building project in the field of higher education.”

The total budget for the project is Euro 505,960. So far, for the last two pre-financing period, 90 percent of the budget has been received.

“Remaining budget will be disbursed soon,” said Pelden Dorji Dadil Jamtsho.

To enhance mental health, counselling and well-being support for students, the project has some specific mandates such as establishing a happiness and well-being centre in all the nine colleges, with lead centre at PCE with an extension at Samtse College of Education.
