In a significant development, Lucknow University is set to start the 'Education for Happiness' course in the M.Ed curriculum from the new academic year. According to professor Amita Bajpai,  the motive behind this is to teach the real concept of happiness to the students and familiarise them with its Indian concept. 

Recently, US President Donald Trump's wife (Melania Trump) visited a school in Delhi where happiness is practiced with the students. 

Speaking to news agency, the professor said that the course will be optional and will be inter-disciplinary so that all students can opt for it.  Bajpai also said that though the course is yet to commence, it has already started gaining popularity among the students. The professor also believes that after students pursue this course, a change will be seen in society.

"Children are looking for happiness in the wrong places. Their concept of happiness is false. Happiness comes from within but they look for it in the material world. We want to tell them the real concept of happiness and familiarise them with its Indian concept," she added.

She further spoke about the 'Happiness Class' in Delhi's school that was attended by US First lady and said, "I have read about that school. Students there practice happiness and stay happy. It is important to identify the indicators of stress and happiness."
