Prof. Yunus and his Grameen Bank were awarded the Nobel Prize in 2006 for their work to create economic and social development from below”. Prof. Yunus was working as Professor of Economics at the University of Chittagong when the great famine hit Bangladesh in 1974. He was inspired to translate the lessons of economics into reality and improve the life of people around him. He started off with long-term loans to people who wanted to start small enterprises. This was scaled up to a larger demographic level through the Grameen Bank. Since its inception in 1983, the Grameen Bank and its concept of micro-credit has been inspiring similar ventures in hundreds of other countries.
The pandemic has brought drastic changes to the social structure, and all support systems that were in place till now have become redundant. New normals demand new solutions.
