He directed that a study should be conducted in collaboration with any higher education institute of the state or IIT to evaluate the scale of happiness. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that there should be a center or building in every district for ideological and creative activities in which the Urban Development Department should also participate. This building should be different from Mangalik Bhawan and creative programs should be conducted here in the presence of the common citizens along with the enlightened class of the city.

Especially, works like linking the elderly above 75 years of age with various insurance schemes and taking them to the hospital in case of need of health benefits or treatment can be done.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that in some cities, social organizations are also doing the work of providing spectacles to the elderly by conducting eye tests. Similarly, the work of organizations working in different cities for the happiness of the people should be studied and listed, so that such social work can be done in other urban areas as well.
