New Delhi, July 31 (IANS) The Delhi government is working on a certificate course for those interested to start the Happiness Curriculum in different parts of the country and the world.

Speaking at the Happiness Education Conference, Education Minister Manish Sisodia said here on Wednesday the government hoped to make India number one on the world Happiness Index.

"We are working on a certificate course for those who want to start the Happiness Curriculum. We feel the need for this because India's position on the World Happiness Index has dropped from 118th to 140th. Our dream is to make India number one on this list," he said.

The event was organised to mark the first anniversary of the Happiness Curriculum.

People across the country have shown interest in replicating the curriculum in their states.
