On August 5, 2024, the young student population of Bangladesh rose up and transformed this toxic political environment, giving birth to _ “Bangladesh 2.0.”

Under the strong leadership of Dr. Muhammad Yunus, the country has started to restore law and order, create a healthy business environment, and normalize the political atmosphere.
