Young changemakers across the country will be recognised and honoured with the Joy Bangla Youth Award this year too. The sixth installment of the event is set for this Saturday, November 12. Young Bangla, the youth secretariat of the thinktank CRI, will recognise youths across the country who have positively transformed their communities through social initiatives. The award will be given away by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's ICT Advisor and CRI Chairperson Sajeeb Wazed Joy. The entries received from all over the country were assessed by an eleven-member jury board who showered praises on the depth and dimension of the initiatives undertaken by the youths to turn around their communities. Liberation War Museum Trustee Mofidul Hoque said, "Being part of the jury board for the sixth installment of Joy Bangla Youth Award fills my heart with immense pleasure as it reflects on the mentality of youths with which they are working for the wellbeing of people. They are setting the precedence for harnessing technology for people, society, and education. At the same time, they are leaving no stone unturned to ensure women’s empowerment." "Not to be outdone by the overwhelming response last year, over 600 ambassadors of change applied this year. This award inspires the entire young generation of Bangladesh to positively impact their communities. This award, initiated through the prime minister, will go on as long as Bangladesh exists on this planet," said entrepreneur Swarnalata Roy.
