The 1st thing that popped up in the head lines for the last 3-4 weeks in the daily newspapers was the Libya issue. According to the government calculation, thirty thousand foreign wage earners have already returned to Bangladesh posing a great uncertainty to their fate. The country itself now needs to come forward with a pact long term human resource policy by which the government would be able to reconstruct the fate of these people and also maintain stability in manpower export system.

Standing at a point where Human Resource Management is still a subject which is in dark to many, AIUB Society 4 HR came up with this unique event called AIUB HR Carnival 2011 to create awareness and promote the HR concept around the country for a better future for the country and a greater profitability for organizations.

Day 01 (20th March, 2011)

When I started off to campus, the weather and the busy people running and yelling at each other on the roads gave me a vibe of another regular day in my life. Listening music with my i-pod did not let me realize when I reached the campus. After I was done with having my regular day starter tea, I felt there were some busy faces running all around me holding a lot of things. My interest drove me to find out what these guys were up to. To my surprise I saw students were decorating the campus with placards, festoons with the best of their imagination and creativity. My extreme desire led me to ask one of them about what was going on. One of them replied with “HR Carnival”. Getting a vague idea in my mind I moved to the next person who seemed to be coordinating the entire work to know about the matter in a better way. In reply to my query about what was happening, she said “AIUB’s Management and Human Resource Management department is organizing a mega event called HR Carnival along with the newest student body formed in AIUB called AIUB Society 4 HR. Anything new that comes in my way is a subject to know better about. When I asked for further details about what was going to happen, the lady pointed to the schedule which was hanging from the 1st floor. I came across a number of events with a heading of “HR Carnival 2011”. The entire event was divided in 3 days. The day 1 kicked off with an exclusive seminar on “Successful Entrepreneurship in Bangladesh” conducted by Mr. Kutubuddin Ahmed who is the Chairman for Sheltech Group and the former president of Bangladesh Garments Manufacturing and Exporting Association. He then went in to the study area where the senior students of AIUB’s BBA program came up with unique business ideas which was immensely appreciated by Mr. Kutubuddin Ahmed. All the members of AIUB Society 4 HR were gathering in front of the campus 1 in a festive mood. My interest to know further automatically pushed me closer to have a better understanding of the reason of this gathering. Within 10 minutes, I realized that Dr. Carmen Z. Lamagna, the Vice-Chancellor of American International University-Bangladesh got in cutting a red ribbon and gathered at the entrance of campus 1 along with Dr. Anwar Hossain, the Pro-Vice Chancellor of American International University-Bangladesh and other high officials. They then cut the cake and announced the official opening of AIUB HR Carnival 2011. The crowd then moved to attend the rally which circulated in the road no 23,17 and Kemal Ataturk Avenue. The rally ended from where it started and immediately the students were seen to rush to the Auditorium for some unknown reason. As I followed the crowd, I went to the auditorium to find out the next happening of HR Carnival 2011. Soon I was able to discover myself in the opening ceremony of AIUB HR Carnival 2011. The guests who attended the opening ceremony where Mr. Ashok Kumar Singh, Country Head for Aditya Birla Group and Engr. Md. Shamsul Islam who is the Assistant Manager of System Protection & Grid Sub-Division of Dhaka Electric Supply Company Limited (DESCO). The inauguration ceremony included some basic idea about AIUB Society 4 HR and AIUB HR Carnival 2011 along with a mini description of its happenings. The anchor also talked about AIUB Society for HR’s mission and vision which was respectably “Practicing what we learn in theories” and “Focusing and promoting the entire university students as a whole”. One thing that got in to my head was when the anchor said that this Carnival is arranged to practice the HR theories in practical manner and also to build up a connection with the corporate world. I then got to know about a mega competition called AIUB Policy Makers 2011 which focused on some burning issues to be solved immediately for the country itself. The concept of the program hypnotized me in such a manner that I had a stay in the auditorium to find out more about AIUB Policy Makers 2011. I got to know that this was the 2nd round of the competition which was taking place right then. The competition included 3 rounds where participants could form a team from different concentration including engineering, Computer Science, Media department and of course the business school itself. In the 1st round 11 teams submitted the position paper according to the requirement of the competition organizing committee. Only 4 teams were picked up to compete in the 2nd round. I was astonished to see the depth of knowledge that the participants had in each and every team. After a bone-scratching fight, two teams which were The Legendaries and Pioneer who were promoted to the final round. It was already 5 in the evening by the time I got out of the auditorium and came to know much of which were coming on the 2nd and the 3rd day. The adjudicators of the round were Mr. R Tareq Moudud, Director, Office of Placement and Alumni’s, Mr. Obaidul Islam (Sr.) and Ms. Hafsa Maryam from the department of Human Resource Management.

Day 02 (March 21st, 2011)

As I was pretty impressed by the opening day program details, I could not stop myself to know more about the programs which were supposed to take place on day 2. The 2nd day of HR Carnival started off with another form of competition called AIUB Master Mind. In this competition there were 13 teams concluding 2 members in each team. The competition had 3 exciting rounds including “hit the ball”, “Bulls Eye” and “Visual Intelligence”. The 1st round emphasized on multiple choice questions with which the participants were provided with. Only 6 teams could manage to go to the next round which was actually a rapid fire round. A question was thrown by the host to the teams and team answering first by raising their “yes” placard would get 1 mark. A wrong answer would also pull the team back as the juries agreed to have negative marking. The Legendaries and The Adroits were the team who made it to the finals. The Adroits won the championship by a difference of .25 from The Legendaries.

The Carnival carried on with a movie called the “A Team” which was selected by the organizing committee. The goal of this movie show is to help the students to understand and relate the HR functions with real life scenarios. A quiz was taken based on the movie and a winner was chosen.

The biggest attraction of the day was the cultural program. The cultural program started with an excellent performance by a stand up comedian Mr. Naveed Mahbub. He made the crowd laugh as if the crowd were about to get paid for laughing. I was astonished to know that the guy who almost made us cry by laughing is the Country Head for International Business Machine (IBM). The cultural program added more value when Farman Mehedi Chowdhury and Anik Rahman put up a great unplugged performance to satisfy the musical hunger of the crowd. On the other side of the fence, an exclusive workshop on “Effective CV writing and Interview techniques” was taking place somewhere in another campus which was also a part of the HR Carnival which I was not aware about. Later on I got to know from a friend about the workshop. It was conducted by Mr. Sabbir Khan, who is the Former Country Director of Motorola Inc. The workshop took place in the media center of American International University-Bangladesh. Cameras were set up in different angles to have the recording of what was happening the entire time. At the end, the participants of the workshop got to see how they behaved, moved and talked while giving the mock interview. Mr. Sabbir Khan ended the wonderful workshop by identifying the do’s and don’t’s of interview. The participant expressed immense pleasure to learn from such a different approach to which they were not exposed before. The 2nd day of AIUB HR Carnival ended up with this keeping a stronger desire in my heart to see the rest of it.

Day 03 – (22nd March, 2011)

The next morning, things seemed a little different as all the members of the organizing committee which is AIUB Society 4 HR were in complete formal attire. I wondered what they were up to as they surprised me too many times in the last 2 days of my life. The 3rd day began with another movie show in the auditorium in a similar approach to the 2nd day. My bad that I actually slept in the auditorium and when I woke up, the only thing which I could realize was I was into something big. It was a full house in the auditorium and the anchor raised his voice by “I welcome you all to the Grand Finale of AIUB Policy Maker 2011”. It took almost about a couple of seconds for me to catch up to the whole thing. I could then remember that AIUB Policy Makers 2011 still had a round to complete which was announced to take place in the final day of the carnival. After waiting for about 10 minutes I saw the team Pioneers proceeding to the stage for giving their final presentation for conquering the last obstacle to claim the championship of AIUB Policy Makers 2011. After 20 minutes of a great informative presentation by the Pioneers, the anchor invited The Legendaries to come up with their presentation. Team Legendaries put on a very good presentation to counter the claim of the championship. After a lot of calculation the jury board could come up to the decision of declaring “Pioneers” as the champions of AIUB Policy Makers 2011. The jury board consisted of Mr. Reaz Ameen Chowdhury who is working as a senior manager in the supply chain department of Bangladesh Edible Oil Limited (BEOL) along with Mr. Obaidul Islam (Sr.). The guest then expressed his pleasure by mentioning that he was very pleased by the show that has been put up by the finalist teams. He also said that it was very unfortunate that he missed the previous rounds. The team members of Pioneers were Ishrat Jahan Lopa (BBA), S.M. Raisul Islam (EEE) and Md. Elias Kobir Khan (EEE).

After AIUB Society 4 HR was done with their mega competition, they suddenly went busy putting all their enthusiasm to work. I head some of the anticipators speaking about the arrival of the Vice Chancellor of AIUB. The scenario was changing so fast and everyone was acting in a very professional manner. I could only wonder what was coming after being surprised by this newly formed organization again and again for the last 2 days. I could see the members of the HR Society placing some selected candidates to some fixed seats. I went downstairs to find out what was cooking. To my surprise, I saw a tall man entering the AIUB premises with a warm welcome from the Vice Chancellor and the other higher authority officials of the institution. The police protocol that he was followed by could give a clear idea to anyone that this tall man was a pretty important person. He along with the higher management of American International University-Bangladesh then proceeded to the study area where he visited the new business concept exhibition. The Vice Chancellor of American International University-Bangladesh then invited him to see the gymnasium of the university. He expressed his compliments not only by words but I could also see his eyes talking. The crowd then marched towards the auditorium. I was still not sure who exactly the tall guy was. I silently entered the auditorium which was very professionally being managed by the members of AIUB Society 4 HR to maintain the highest standard. I was not surprised this time when the anchor of the concluding ceremony introduced the tall guy to the crowd. He was none other than Mr. Arturo Perez Martnez, His Excellency, The Ambassador of Kingdom of Spain to Bangladesh. He was then asked to take the seat of the chief guest alongside with Dr. Carmen Z. Lamagna, the Vice Chancellor of American International University-Bangladesh as a special guest for the evening. His Excellency then expressed his feeling by mentioning about the wonderful gesture of American International University-Bangladesh. He also spoke about the opportunities that we have in the global market. He appreciated the initiative of displaying the new business ideas. He also focused on studying “Spanish” as a foreign language as a huge population of the world speaks Spanish. Finally he mentioned his level of surprise to see the level of expertise that AIUB Society 4 HR showed and in the manner they have arranged the entire event. Dr. Carmen Z. Lamagna was next to speak about the program. He welcomed AIUB Society 4 HR along with the department of Management and HRM for arranging such a wonderful event for which AIUB will always be remembered for its pioneering initiative in this particular manner. I was surprised for the last time to know that this was the 1st event of its kind that took place in any university of our beloved motherland. I felt proud to be a student of this institute. The program then carried on with the grand prize giving ceremony where the winners of different competitions were awarded by the chief guest and the special guest. Apart from the competition and quiz winners, the ceremony also had some honorary prizes and achievement certificates for the hardworking members of AIUB Society 4 Hr for their unexplainable contribution. Mr. Koushik Zaman was awarded as the best designer, followed by S.M Sajibul Islam as the Icon of the association. Md. Shamim Reza, Natasha Kamal, Reefat Alam Bushra, Maisha Islam and Anik Rahman were awarded respectively for outstanding contributor, (Shamim, Natasha and Reefat) best coordinator and best planner. The closing ceremony ended up with the sweet noise of thousands of clicks from around the stage. I was not surprise to see the members of the society still managing to smile each and every time I heard a “click”. The other high officials who were also present at the event were Mr. Ehsanul Huda Chowdhury, Director of BBA Program, Mr. Nisar Ahmed, Director of MBA Program, Mr. Matiur Rahman, Associate Dean, Faculty of Business Administration and Ms. Farheen Hassan, Head of the Department for Management & HRM.

Thus, a wonderful and undoubtedly the best event of the year so far came to an end keeping a positive effect and a promise to come back with better ideas in the upcoming years.
