Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus on Sunday said Center for Policy Dialogue (CPD)'s research and public awareness activities played a huge role in creating the mindset for the recent student uprising, reports BSS.
He also said that the research organization has always been involved in establishing a democratic, just and accountable society.
The chief adviser made the remark in a video message played at a programme organised marking the 30th anniversary of CPD.
He said the CPD has been able to establish itself as a reliable and fearless institution for the people of the country through various activities over the past 30 years.
"That is why this institution always holds special significance for me," Prof Yunus said.
Noting that Bangladesh is now going through a crucial time, he said, "I hope that CPD will continue its intellectual contribution in the present and future as it did so in the past and will contribute to the welfare of the country and its people".
He wished CPD's greater role and success in the coming days for the needs of the country.
As a founding trustee of CPD, Prof Yunus extended his heartfelt congratulations to all associated with the organisation.
"Today, I would like to specially congratulate my teacher Professor Rehman Sobhan, the founder of CPD. He has been playing a unique role in the country at different times," he said.
