Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus has said that the collective efforts of Bangladesh’s youth will help the country emerge as a developed, humane, and innovative nation.

Highlighting the role of youth in education, healthcare, environmental protection, poverty reduction, and social justice, Yunus emphasized that no barrier can halt progress when driven by innovation and determination.

He stressed that volunteerism is not only a service to humanity but also a path to self-development, character building, and leadership. Calling on young people to apply their talent and creativity to national progress, Yunus presented the Youth Award 2025 to 12 outstanding individuals for their contributions to nation-building.
