Youths are the driving force of a nation. The South Asian youths must work together for ensuring sustainable development in this region. This was told at a seminar on “Empowering Youths for Effective Social Change and Sustainable Development” on Thursday in Sylhet. It was arranged by South Asia Youth for Peace and Prosperity, a South Asia based international organisation. The seminar began with the inaugural speech of CU teacher Sazzadul Haque who urged the students to work for brightening the future of the country. Anam A Chowdhury, eminent newspaper columnist, was present as chief guest while Harunuzzaman Chowdhury chaired the function. Urging the youths to empower themselves to fight social evils, Anam emphasised on deep co-operation of South Asian youths for regional development. “South Asian people have similarities in their culture and lifestyle. Youths of this region can easily come to a common platform for sustainable development,” said key note presenter Mahjarul Islam, Associate Professor and former chairman of Anthropology Department, SUST.
