2017 Winner | | Bengali

For the very first time, sustainable waste management system will be implemented with the help of mobile application namely “ENVLee” (to be developed). Smartphone users will be able to open account on it with their personal details which could be only accessed by the user and app administrator. The app will allow the user to input the number of waste (in case of organic) or kilograms of processed organic waste (fertilizer). Accordingly, they will be rewarded with points/stars. As soon as the points/stars reach sufficient level, the user will be contacted for waste collection. “Project ENVLee” team will collect the waste from the user’s house. The team will take that to recycle companies or fertilizer distributing companies depending on the kind of waste collected. These companies will pay according to the weight. A percentage of the money will be sent to the user through an online or mobile payment system.

I would like to call myself a community leader, clean energy technologist and a Sustainable Development Goals advocate. I have been working tirelessly to empower the rural communities of Bangladesh with quality education and skill training. I founded H.A. Foundation and H.A. Digital School & College in a remote area of Bangladesh which are serving 55 disadvantaged communities at present with a focus on youth and women empowerment. Additionally, I do research on clean energy production, sustainable energy system development and management. I am also performing an honorary role as “Young Leader for Sustainable Development Goals” at the United Nations.
