After organizing a bunch of programs, it was the time for having some fresh air. But it was not possible in this massy and polluted city and as BIZ BEE always emphasizes on relating academic knowledge with realistic world it arranged a tour to Comilla. The function of this tour was to visit the ABDUL MONEM LIMITED COMILLA BEVERAGE UNIT and BARD (Bangladesh Academy for Rural Development). 

Beauty of Bangladesh

On 15th October, 2010 our journey kicked off for this rocking excursion at 8 o’clock in the morning. All the preparations were done before starting this journey and the entire plan for this whole day was designed. Breakfast was served in the bus and all the student were in a very jolly mood. They were dressed in BIZ BEE T-shirts and dancing with flabbergast music. Time was passing out with lots of enjoyment. After passing the metro area when we started going by highway, we saw the beautiful greenery of rural Bangladesh. The panorama of both side of the road was very stunning.

When we reached at the factory, we found the staffs are very hospitable. They guided us on the visit of the factory. There, we saw the production activities of five different soft drinks; they are Coca-Cola, Sprit, Fanta, Fanta-Lemon and Sunfill. We saw how those soft drinks were processed and filled into the bottles. The plastic bottles are made in this factory and the others are imported from abroad.

The ingredients of those drinks are also imported from out of the country. They also told us about their distribution system. The marketing team surveys the demand of those products in the market and the authority ensured the supply. After visiting the entire factory, students were taken to the conference room where the chief engineer of this factory answered the question of the students.

The visit of BARD was also very tremendous. Students found the taste of natural beauty and enjoyed those eye-catching vistas. BARD was consisting of some beautiful buildings, a number of artificial lakes and lots of trees. Most of those trees were unknown for the students. The entire area was very large. As we were running out of time, so we could not take much time. We stared for Dhaka at 6 o’clock. Advisor of BIZ BEE, Mr. Jabir Al Mursalin was with us on this tour.
