The research has been undertaken with the main aim of knowing the happiness and quality of life. The study has been conducted among 100 white collared employees working in Anugraha Fashion Mill Private Limited, Tirupur. The study is descriptive in nature and adopts a simple random sampling method for data collection. The data is analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) 22.0 and the tools employed are correlation and linear regression.
