Gross national happiness (GNH) is a unique model which Bhutan has adopted. The present study is an attempt to assess the impact of GNH value-based education adopted by all educational institutes, on sustainable practices among Bhutanese college students, particularly in the context of students who have undergone 12 years of GNH value-based education in schools. The findings show that GNH awareness contributes positively to students' attitudes towards sustainable development goals (SDGs). Awareness among Bhutanese business students about SDGs is significantly related to positive sustainable behaviour, which in turn has positive implications for achieving SDGs. Findings also shows that awareness about GNH does not mediate between positive awareness towards SDGs and positive behaviour towards sustainable development, although it influences the positive attitude towards SDGs.
