BANGLADESH has moved long ahead since independence about 46 years ago. The major driving force of this country is its youth. From the Language Movement in 1952 to the War of Liberation in 1971 - the youth has been the strength of the nation. It was the youth who organized, coordinated and took part in all the movements.
A large portion of the 160 million people of the country is below 35 years of age. They were also instrumental in changing the governments in this country. By doing so the youth of this country has not only shown their leadership talent in the political arena but also are making significant contribution to the corporate arena. Small scale companies are all being run by the youth of this country.
Bangladesh Youth Leadership Forum and different social organizations are a few examples of the leadership skills of the youth. Proper support from the government and society can help the youth community excel in all areas and bring about significant changes in our national life.
It should, therefore, be a focal point of consideration for the government to support the youth in all possible ways.
