Chief Adviser Prof Muhammad Yunus on Monday urged Bangladesh’s youths to use their talent, energy and creativity for the country’s development, saying no problem will remain unsolved if they stay active and involved.

“May your success not be limited to personal achievements but also inspire others. I believe that if the youth are active, no problem of the country can remain unresolved,” he said while addressing the Youth Volunteer Award-2025 ceremony at the Chief Adviser’s Office.

Prof Yunus said young people should become pioneers of new policies, innovative ideas and social transformation, adding that their collective efforts will enable Bangladesh to stand tall as a developed, humane and innovative country.

He 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.

On Monday 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,” he said.

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.

“New challenges will constantly come our way — from public health crises to educational barriers and environmental disasters. But instead of getting discouraged, we must face them unitedly with our strength. I hope our youth will lead in this work too,” he said.

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.
