Young generation ready to lead the world, says CA at Ekushey Padak event

Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus on Thursday said the country's young generation wants to lead the world apart from building a new Bangladesh as he conferred Ekushey Padak-2025 on the recipients.

"We are now stronger, more energetic and more creative than ever before. The dreams of our young generation are more courageous than the dreams of any generation in the past," he said at the award distribution function at Osmani Memorial Auditorium here. 

Prof Yunus said: "The way they (young generation) want to create a new Bangladesh, they want to create a new world with the same confidence. They want to take the lead in creating a new world. They are ready to lead. Boys are ready, girls are ready."

He said the country's new generation wants to build a "new civilisation of their dreams" by breaking the shackles of a self-destructive civilisation. 

The chief adviser said the main goal of their civilisation will be to ensure equal rights of every person to all the resources of the world, to ensure that all have opportunity to dream and realise it, to develop human life in such a way that the existence of the world and the living of all lives are not disturbed in any way.
