Prime Minister's ICT Adviser and Centre for Research and Information (CRI) Chairperson Sajeeb Wazed Joy will announce the Joy Bangla Youth Award 2022 winners at 3:00pm on Saturday.
The award is designed to recognise countrywide young changemakers, help them network among themselves and enhance the services which they are already providing to their communities.
Since its inception in November 2014, Young Bangla, the youth wing of CRI, has been conferring Joy Bangla Youth Award to the youths and youth organisations successfully involved in changing the social paradigm in their respective areas.
In the sixth edition of the event, awards will be given to 10 youth organisations under five categories including women empowerment, children's rights, empowerment of specially challenged and underprivileged people and so on.
Besides, three persons will be conferred with 'Lifetime Joy Bangla Youth Award' for their special contributions to the country.
The 10 youth organisations have been selected from around 600 applications from youth organizations.
Verified pages of Young Bangla and CRI will air the award giving ceremony live.
