Quantifying subjective well being or happiness has always been intriguing and with the advent of Gross National Happiness (GNH) index of Bhutan and World Happiness Report (WHR) by UN, it has become all the way more of a global issue. This study stratifies countries into Happiness Strata in a Global Happiness Map using the WHR 2018 indices, only to find that India is among the 42 Unhappy Nations of the world. The Nordic (Western European) countries seem to top the happiness charts with Denmark being consistently among the top five. The paper also discusses what India can learn and adopt from Denmark.Keywords

Indian agriculture being fraught with fragmented land holdings, the economic viability of farm mechanization has forever remained a debatable issue. Here we determine the socio-agro-economic impact of seed-cum-fertilizer drill and zero tillage through different methods with ex-ante and ex-post approaches. Results depict that labour costs had reduced by almost 80% and seed usage by 20%. The seed-cum-fertilizer drill and zero tillage adopter saved Rs 3764.10 and 4047.54 respectively, from 1 ha. The machinery also increased the yield of HD 2967 wheat variety by 13.39 and 6.0 q/ha, and decreased seed rate by 27.71 and 24.20 kg/ha respectively, as evident from the results of the SUR model. The growth of the farm machinery sector is hindered by machine cost, resource-poor farmers and inaccessibility of agricultural technology. A few suggestions on the critical aspects are made here based on the application of technology in different states of India to implement suitable policies for the economic benefit of farmersKeywords
