With a youth population of over 45 million, the country is on its way to becoming a prosperous, smart Bangladesh. It is important to recognise the unsung young heroes who are bringing about social change. Towards this goal, the Joy Bangla Youth Award (JBYA), launched in 2015 by the Centre for Research and Information (CRI), has so far honoured 157 youth-led organisations.
The JBYA 2024 announcement on the Young Bangla Facebook page encourages youth to share their impactful stories.
“JBYA 2024 is coming very soon,” read a post on Young Bangla's verified Facebook page along with a video reel. “Young Bangla is ready to listen to your contribution: the struggle for the upliftment of your country and society,” the reel reads.
