Rekhi Center of Excellence for the Science of Happiness
The 'Rekhi Center of Excellence for the Science of Happiness' was started in September 2016 at one of India's premier engineering institutes - IIT Kharagpur and is the brainchild of Dr. Rekhi. In addition to providing financial support to the centre, he is also a part of Program Management as its honorary chairman. The goal is to expand the practice and knowledge of “Happiness Science and Positive Psychology” from students to the people they meet in their professional and personal lives, thus growing exponentially in its reach while improving the lives of people at large.
The Rekhi Centres of Excellence for the Science of Happiness aim to promote research, training, education and the practice of well being for students and teachers through the principles of happiness and well being techniques. Our research is based on the concept of improving the quality of people’s lives by focusing on knowledge that enhances positive emotions and positive relationships.
Happiness is an affective, cognitive, and psychological state of well-being. It is about finding meaning and purpose in life. It is the joy experienced in sharing rather than receiving. In the workplace, this happiness is reflected in the employees work output by being more productive, creative, enjoying one’s work, and being there for others. We have often pursued the art of happiness in our understanding and practice of staying happy. Developing a scientific understanding of happiness will help individuals be more optimistic and appreciative about themselves and others.
Each centre has a team of faculty members who work with students in the areas of happiness and well-being. Currently, Courses on individual happiness, as well as, organizational happiness are being offered with, student projects, training programs and research.
40+ universities spread across 6 countries
Currently Rekhi Foundation has established happiness centers and runs “Science & Practice of Happiness” course in over 25+ colleges and universities across 5 countries with the aim to impart knowledge pertaining to well-being practices and holistic self-development among students.
