Adviser urges youth to build a prosperous country

Finance Adviser Dr. Salehuddin Ahmed has called upon the country's young generation to help build the future Bangladesh through dreams, hard work and human values, reports BSS.

"New graduates must become responsible citizens and commit themselves to national development. Today, you are entering a wider arena. Your responsibilities are significant, and you must carry them out with sincerity," he said while addressing the Convocation-2025 of Stamford University Bangladesh as the chief guest held at the Bashundhara International Convention Centre in the capital on Saturday.

Highlighting the importance of compassion and social responsibility, he said empathy, cooperation and a sense of duty towards others are essential for national progress. "It is not enough to remain busy with one's own career. One must fulfill responsibilities towards society, family and the country."

Emphasising hard work as the key to success, he said "In my 35 years of professional life, I have worked hard at every step. Nothing comes overnight as hard work is the driving force of success."

Dr. Salehuddin encouraged the new graduates to dream big, saying, "A person can't move forward without dreams. You should start thinking now about what you want to achieve in the future and in which field you will contribute."
