However, a large number of children, adolescents and disabled people are deprived of education, health care and cultural opportunities. However, government as well as many organizations and individuals ar working tirelessly for the welfare of children, adolescents and disabled people of the country. With the help of these social reformers, children and adolescents are empowered to break the cycle of poverty, inequality and violence. Many children and adolescents who were once deprived of the benefits are now contributing significantly to the development of Bangladesh. It is our responsibility to recognize and encourage the inspiring work of individuals and organizations involved in this noble cause nationally. Out of this sense of responsibility, like every year, we have organized 'RTV-SMC-MoniMix Inspiration Award' 2022. I congratulate all those who won Award this year.

At the same time, it is necessary to stand by the underprivileged and low-income people. That is why I call on everyone to work together with our leader Sheikh Hasina.
