The Department of Management Information Systems (MIS), Faculty of Business Administration (FBA), AIUB, organized a student-centric competitive event titled “Poster Contest: Value Addition through Blockchain in Agro Business” for students enrolled in the Introduction to Information Technology (IIT) course under the BBA Program. The event was held on Thursday, April 16, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM in the Annex 2 & 3 Lobby (Level 2) and Rooms 3201, 3202, and 3203 at the AIUB campus.

Approximately 80 students from the IIT course participated in the competition, presenting their research and ideas through creatively designed posters before a jury panel, distinguished guests, faculty members, and fellow students. Each team explored how blockchain technology can create measurable value across different dimensions of agro-business in Bangladesh — including supply chain transparency, farmer empowerment, traceability of produce from farm to market, reduction of post-harvest losses, and the elimination of intermediaries that erode smallholder farmer incomes. The event provided students with a hands-on platform to apply emerging technology concepts to one of Bangladesh’s most critical economic sectors, building both technical understanding and business acumen in equal measure.

The poster exhibition and presentation session was formally inaugurated by Prof. Dr. Anwar Hossain, Advisor and Dean-in-Charge of the Faculty of Business Administration, in the presence of faculty members and students of FBA. The event was further honored by the presence of Prof. Dr. Prasad Chowdhury, Director in Charge, BBA Program, and Md. Mehzabul Hoque Nahid, Head of the Department of MIS, whose participation underscored the cross-departmental significance of the initiative.

The jury panel comprised faculty members of the MIS Department, who evaluated the participating teams across multiple criteria, including poster design and visual appeal, content coverage and information quality, presentation and communication skills, and overall contribution and group dynamics, particularly in their responses to questions about their designed posters. At the conclusion of the event, the jury members and distinguished guests announced the winners of the competition. They presented certificates and crests to the members of the Champions.

The event was organized by Fatema Tuz Zahra, Lecturer, Department of MIS, with Khandakar Tahurul Islam, Lecturer, Department of MIS, serving as key contact. The Department of MIS, FBA, extends its sincere gratitude to the Office of Student Affairs and the concerned administrative officials of AIUB for providing comprehensive logistical support that contributed to the successful organization of the event.
