SU, IBA holds food and entrepreneur carnival in Hyderabad

HYDERABAD: Sindh University (SU) and Institute of Business Administration on Wednesday indulged students in a food and entrepreneur carnival.

“The culturally-innovative and highly impressive way in which the IBA faculty and students have set up food and entrepreneur stalls has fascinated my heart,” said the chief guest, SU VC Dr Fateh Muhammad Burfat, in his remarks given at the opening ceremony of food and entrepreneur carnival.

“Though, by its name, the festival is suggestive of culinary theme, yet latent in it is the wide-open space for students to release their creative and corporate flair by coining titles commensurate to setting, subject-suited innovations, idea-inclined improvisations and an opportunity to unleash the slues gates of their accumulated emotional energy in a positive manner. These activities, in fact, serve for them as much- needed catharsis”, Dr Burfat added.

The vice chancellor further said that the sort of given activities complemented students’ curricular engagement by accruing them opportunities in form of informal channels, first to discover their dormant abilities and skills and; next by demonstrating their creative potential.

Each class of the institute was mandated to come up with one food and entrepreneur theme each and was to set up kiosk accordingly, integrating it to as most creatively as possible to the aboriginal habitat of the tile as possible. This way, the stall themes featured in the carnival included a wide range of titles relating to food and entrepreneur aspects.

Hundreds of students from across almost all departments of the varsity visited the stalls, expressing keen interest in continental, inter-continental and global cuisine and entrepreneur exhibits put on display; taking incessant selfies, soaking in the festive event environs; swaying and swooning to the fascinating beats of the culturally-and-soulfully loaded music playing loudly along the event sidelines.

The cornucopia of colours, rainbow smiles, full-blast festivities, an endless array of camera flashes, taste bud tantalisations, folk dances, entrepreneur enterprises, free flow of affections and sweet serene socialisation marked the festival memorial.

Those who were present on the occasion included Institute Director Dr Abdul Sattar Shah, Focal Person for SU Mirpur Khas campus Dr Imamuddin Khoso, Director Admissions Abdul Majeed Panhwar, event coordinator Hina Arif, Dr Saima Kamran, Media Cell Incharge and IELL senior faculty Dr Ghulam Ali Buriro, ORIC Director Dr Imtiaz Ahmed Korejo, Dr Karim Bux Shah, Dr Naveeda Shah, Dr Vishnu Parmar, Dr Mushtaq Jariko, Dr Abdul Sami Shaikh and others.
