If the youth are active, no problem of the country can remain unresolved, said Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus on Monday.
He urged Bangladesh’s youths to use their talent, energy and creativity for the country’s development.
”Young people should become pioneers of new policies, innovative ideas and social transformation. Their collective efforts will enable Bangladesh to stand tall as a developed, humane and innovative country,” he said while addressing the Youth Volunteer Award-2025 ceremony at the Chief Adviser’s Office.
Prof Yunus congratulated the award winners on behalf of himself, the government and the people of Bangladesh, while also thanking the Ministry of Youth and Sports for organizing the event.
“Today, we are celebrating the power of youth. This is the driving force of our nation. When the youth of a country is active, energetic and strong in innovative power, then no obstacle can stop their progress.”
Highlighting youth contributions in healthcare, environmental protection, poverty alleviation and social justice, Prof Yunus recalled their leading role in the 2024 mass uprising and in shaping the nation’s history.
He described volunteering as a path to self-development, character building and leadership, urging young people not to limit themselves to volunteerism but to rise as policymakers, innovators and architects of social change.
