Title

SELECTED ORGANISATIONS OF DHARAN MUNICIPALITY.

Introduction

• Life satisfaction is widely considered to be central aspect of human welfare and is not merely a judgment about one’s life.

• For it is widely thought to involve affirming, endorsing, appreciating or being pleased with one’s life.1

Introduction cont….• Life satisfaction is defined as “a global

assessment of a person’s quality of life according to his or her chosen criteria.”

leaving their child at such young age. They feel guilty and anxious and their anxiety is transmitted to the child. The mother will phone ten times a day to find out what is happening and try to give instructions over the phone. This can make the whole family develop neurotic tendencies.4
