"The Novel Prize Achiver"
Mohamad Yunus is Bangladeshi social entrepreneur, banker, economist and civil society leader. He got the Nobel Peace Prize for founding Grameen Bank and a pioneer in microloans and microfinance. These exceptional loans are given to poor entrepreneurs who can't ask traditional bank loans.
Early Age of Mohammad Yunus:-
Mohammed Yunus was born on June 28, 1940, to a Bengali Muslim family. His village name is Batua, Kaptai district in Hathazari, Chittagong. His father is a jewelry master Hazi Dula Mia Shoudagar and his mother is Sufiya Khatun.
In 1944, his family moved to Chittagong and he transferred from the village school to Lamabazar Elementary School. During his school years, he was an active scout and participated in the Jamboree in West Pakistan. Later, while studying at the University of Chittagong, Yunus actively participated in cultural activities, where he was awarded a theater prizes.
After Graduation Period:-
After graduation, Yunus worked as an Economics Fellow at the Bureau of Economic Affairs. In 1961 he was appointed professor of economics at the University of Chittagong. At the year 1965, he received a Fulbright scholarship to study in the United States. He received his Ph.D. in economics from Vanderbilt University on Completion of Economic Development (GPED) in 1971.
From 1969 to 1972, Yunus was Assistant Professor of Economics at Central Tennesse State University at Murfreesboro.
Career of Mohammad Yunus:-
In 1976, during visits to the poor families in the village Jobra near to Chittagong University, Yunus found that little credits could be a lopsided effect to the poor people. Village ladies who made bamboo furniture needed to take loan to purchase bamboo, and reimburse their benefits to the landers. Ordenary banks would not like to make small loans to the poor people because of high interest and high risk. Muhammad Yunus believe that, if they get the opportunity, the poor villagers will return the cash, microcredit was a practical business model.
Yunus lent US$27 of his money to 42 ladies in the village, who made a benefit of BDT 0.50 (US$0.02) each on the profit. Consequently, Yunus is credited with the possibility of microcredit.

In his whole life he got many awards. In 2006 Yunus was awarded to Nobel Peace Prize, alongside Grameen Bank, for their financial and social development.
