Chitkara University Celebrates International Happiness Day with Joy, Laughter, and Purpose

On March 20, 2025, Chitkara University celebrated International Happiness Day with an uplifting series of events curated by the Chitkara Happiness Centre in collaboration with the Office of Student Affairs and the Office of University Communication. The day was marked by the inspiring presence of Dr. Madan Kataria, founder of Laughter Yoga, widely known as the World Laughter Guru.
The celebrations began with Jashan-E-Khushi at the Exploretorium, where Dr. Kataria conducted an engaging, research-backed Laughter Yoga session. Students explored the power of laughter through interactive exercises like Bollywood laughter and other joyful techniques. The session highlighted laughter’s role in boosting immunity, enhancing confidence, and promoting mental well-being.
The energy continued at Happiness Wonderland in Alpha Zone, which featured a range of immersive activities. From Draw Your Happiness and Singing Zone to Gratitude Walk, Peaceful Paradise, and a thought-provoking Nukkad Natak, students found creative ways to express and reflect on what happiness means to them.

As the evening approached, The Highway to Happiness – Live & Laugh brought hostellers together for a lively Laughter Yoga session that blended mindfulness with movement, joy, and community spirit.

The entire day was a beautiful celebration of connection, gratitude, and shared joy, leaving everyone with a renewed sense of positivity. Chitkara University once again proved its commitment to fostering emotional well-being and building a happier campus culture.
