The Andhra Pradesh government will soon constitute a Happiness Commission that will take up a series of programmes to promote “happiness” in the state, senior officials said on Monday. The commission, which will work under the department of planning, will be headed by chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu. “The proposal is in the final stages and very soon, we shall issue an order constituting the commission,” said Sanjay Gupta, chief executive officer of the AP state development planning society (APSDPS) and vice-chairman of the proposed commission. Andhra Pradesh became the second state in the country to introduce an exclusive ministry for happiness in April 2017. “Our ultimate objective is to make Andhra Pradesh a happy state,” he said.
