Sajeeb Wazed Joy, the son of the prime minister and an ICT adviser, revealed the recipients of awards at a virtual event organized by Young Bangla, the youth platform of the Awami League’s Centre for Research and Information, on Tuesday. The winners were divided into 16 in the social inclusion category and 14 in the social development category. Young Bangla selected 47 organizations as finalists from a pool of 600 youth groups aged between 18 and 35. Joy praised their work as exceptional and stated that they are dedicated to helping the general public in a motivating way. He expressed gratitude for their efforts in assisting disadvantaged individuals such as poor children, people with disabilities, and other marginalized groups. Joy mentioned that the winners were actively working to address issues they encountered, unlike some individuals who simply prefer to complain. He emphasized that the winners, who may be as small as a single youth in a village, are making a difference by implementing their own solutions instead of just criticizing. Nasrul Hamid Bipu, the state minister for power, energy, and mineral resources and a trustee of CRI, participated in the event, which was moderated by Dr. Nuzhat Choudhury. The winners and categories are as follows: Happy Natore and Shoshtho Indrio or The 6th Sense of Rajshahi received the award for children's rights.

Unmesh of Rangamati, Ignite Youth Foundation of Chandpur, iTech School of Chandpur, and Positive Bangladesh of Dhaka were awarded for their contributions to youth development. Deshi Balllers of Dhaka and Youth for Change of Barishal were recognized for their work in women empowerment. The organizations mentioned are working towards empowering people with disabilities, preventing coronavirus through emergency efforts, addressing environmental and climate issues, providing health education and awareness, and promoting socio-cultural entrepreneurship. Footstep Bangladesh from Noakhali and Safety Management Foundation from Kurigram, both focusing on disaster management and reducing risk of damage, are the recipients of certificates, crests, and laptops as winners.
