We are extremely happy to learn that the name of Prof. Dr Yunus, the innovator of Micro-Credit has been proposed for this year's Nobel Prize in Economics. Prof Yunus has earned reputation at home and abroad for his unique model micro credit is an economic innovation for emancipating the poor from the curse of poverty.

It's to be mentioned that countries including the developed ones in the west have been replicating his model to fight poverty with remarkable success. It's worth mentioning that former US president Bill Clinton and senator Hillary Clinton personally admired him for his unique innovation.

It's been noted that Prof. Yunus has been receiving applause and congratulations from people of all walks of life. I would like to be one of them by congratulating him on this feat and waiting with an earnest wish that he would come out with the coveted acknowledgement. The feat will undoubtedly boost our total frame in manifold ways as a nation.

I look forward to seeing him as the proud Bengali to make us proud once again that is much needed at this point of time.
