In 2006 Yunus and Grameen received the Nobel Peace Prize.[1] Yunus himself has received several other Welfare economics , Development economics , national and international honors. Public Health , Gender Studies , Political Philosophy , Utilitarianism He is a member of advisory board at Shahjalal University of Science and Technology. Previously, he was a professor of economics at Chittagong University where he developed the concepts of microcredit and microfinance.

He is the author of Banker to the Poor and two books on Social Business Models, and a founding board member of Grameen America and Grameen Foundation.

    Cosmos Multidisciplinary Research E-Journal Online Available at www.cmrj.in Recognized International Peer Reviewed Journal Impact Factor 4.94 ISSN No. 2456-1665 Sachin Tendulkar: God of Cricket Santosh Adhe Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar is an Indian former international cricketer. He also served as captain of the Indian national team. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest batsmen in the history of cricket. He is the highest run scorer of all time in international cricket. Though everyone names Sachin Tendulkar as the “God of Cricket” many don’t know the real reason behind this. The legendary Indian cricketer took up cricket at the age of eleven. On 14 November 1987, the 14-year-old Tendulkar was selected to represent Bombay in the Ranji Trophy, India’s premier domestic first- class cricket tournament, for the 1987–88 season. In 1992, at the age of 19, Tendulkar became the first overseas-born player to represent Yorkshire, which prior to Tendulkar joining the team, never selected players even from other English countries. In 2011, Tendulkar finally achieved his dream of winning the Cricket World Cup at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai. Tendulkar is the leading century maker in both Test and ODI and has so far scored 99 international centuries. He also has played highest number of Test and ODI matches. Surprisingly after playing for more two decades, Tendulkar won his first ICC cricketer of the year award in 2010. Tendulkar described ‘2010’ as among the best ever in his cricketing career Records of Sachin Tendulkar 1. Sachin Tendulkar is the only batsman in the cricket world to score 100 centuries.
