‘Every child has something special’

Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus has urged to Inspire the children and youth to the global stage overcoming the borders.

”No child should feel excluded. Every child has something special — our task is to help them find it joyfully, without pressure, through self-discovery.

The Chief Adviser made the remarks at the prize giving ceremony of ‘Notun Kuri’ competition 2025 at Shapla Hall in the Chief Adviser’s Office (CAO).

He said, ”Today, this joy will spread to countless homes across Bangladesh. This celebration is not just for the children present here but for every family that supported them — watching with hope and love as their children competed and dreamed.”

He emphasized that each child’s achievement — even small — marks a milestone of inspiration.

Describing how competitions build character and resilience, encouraging both winners and those who did not win but keep hope for future, Professor Yunus said, “Even those who could not reach the final stage deserve applause. Because when a child feels — ‘why not me?’ — that spark pushes him or her towards transformation with determination to clinch the championship in future.”

“Through such contests, children learn to question, to challenge, to realize that they can do things, which others cannot do . . . this builds their confidence and imagination.”

Yunus proposed expanding the competition to other creative fields, including technology, science, fashion design, entrepreneurship, writing, and sports.
