It’s amazing to see that our forum finally has got its momentum and has become successful to create a wave among not only in our DIU community but also among many others. DIU Forum has become enriched by continuous information uploads with versatile issues/subjects by teachers, students, officials and others.

I have been keeping an Eagle’s eye on the development and expansion of our beloved forum science its inception. With the joining of new members, the more power it has gained, the more excitement was enjoyed by many of us. The forum users have been trying to explore new ideas/issues everyday. In this regard, I think the time has come to note:

1.   Please try to write more from your own views and ideas preferably using our own language.

2.   Interesting, informative, relevant and necessary posting from other sites/sources are also welcome but please do not forget to mention the source or acknowledge the original writer.

3.   If you get something from some other website or search engine, please mention it at the bottom of your posting.

4.   We believe, we are maintaining international standard; as such, we need to be more careful while we have been posting something from other sources or some other articles/write-ups, partly or fully.

5.   Proper reference should be considered as Forum Posting Ethics to keep ourselves more transparent and decent in the virtual world.

6.   Avoid unnecessary interaction and repetition which will not add much value to the Forum archive.

I, therefore, request to every forum users firstly, to develop own writing skill by writing more and more, and secondly, to acknowledge properly or citing the sources either.

Dear Mehnaz,

I am happy to know that many of our students can think from the perspective of their teachers! Let our teachers or visiting scholars have a good idea about our manner and atmosphere of the department. Why don't you people come forward to lead the behavioral aspects through talks and discussions?

You might have noticed, the situation has much improved so far. So we are looking forward to prove our department the best at DIU!

I seek apology to Umme Rumana Haque mam for such a mishap in the exam hall. She actually has come forward to facilitate our Corporate Finance course in absence of Mina sir.

Cheers,

Real Estate / An urge to all the students of BRE

« on: September 05, 2010, 11:55:52 PM »

With my experience and opportunity to work with our beloved students of BRE ,I would like to urge the following:

(Please don not just read, but realize!)

1. Please follow the notice board time to time rather than asking information to friends or officials. It doesn't mean that you are not welcome at program office, you always are welcome for any information. Ours experience shows huge rush at program office while the info is available in the notice board. Please have a habit of looking at the notice board everyday.

2. Please don't be anxious or panic regarding BRE program, its job opportunities, or don't be demotivated with multiple comparison with BBA or some other programs by others. Every program has its own power and opportunities.

3. Students need to be more attentive to the classes. So far the dropout rate or absent rate is very high comparing to other programs. Help us to come out of this blind tunnel.

4. Please do not ignore the programs organized by the department. Our experience shows you need to be more serious and give more value to such programs where distinguish guests reaches to the auditorium and our students seems reluctant to be on time.

5. Please be on tie rather than disagree having small segmented groups and try to follow the leadership even you have different opinion!

6. Please be more time conscious in both the classes and outdoor programs.

7. Please be positive and do not loose faith on us. Don't think negative things and keep going with your studies.

8. Please show respect to your senior or junior or vice-versa.

9. Please complete your assigned task from the department on time. Come forward to take the leadership, don't think you are not the person to be on the driving seat! Yes, it's you!


Finally, we shall overcome!!

Wish you all the best in every aspect.

It's good to see that our students are very conscious about the upcoming courses as well as their future in real estate education. The UGC comments were disclosed to my beloved students in the last student meeting where it was clearly stated that they have accepted all of our courses with a modification in one course namely "Rural Housing Development". They modification is already done and communicated, so I think you need not to be worried and anxious about that. We will never let our students to be in trouble in any way. Regarding old and newly offered courses, a suitable substitute and exemption will be made so that students doing the earlier courses may not be deprived.

With this opportunity, let me urge to you all to be more regular in the classes and keep yourself updated in this way.

Regards,

Masud Ibn Rahman

Environmental Science and Disaster Management / Apocalyptic disasters and the human miseries

Apocalyptic disasters and the human miseries
September 2, 2010
By Rubayat Ahsan

Scientists have named it once-in-a-century flood. 20 million affected people just thriving out there in Pakistan to back to their every day normal existence, more than 1000 people are believed to be killed, millions have been displaced, villages are washed away, children are fighting water-borne diseases and thousands of women and men crawling towards vehicles carrying relief. Ban Ki-moon said that he has never seen anything like the flood disaster in Pakistan. The scale of such a flood has astonished international community.

String of disasters in china caused by floods and mudslides killed thousands and displaced many. The recent mudslides have leveled an area and raised death toll. China’s proud of becoming the nearest economic power to US is dismayed by these disasters one after the another. Cyclones devastated Bangladesh for many centuries and the latest ones are Sidr and Aila. Floods destroy crops and livestock on a yearly basis in this nation. Many around the world perceive that this nation remains under water.

Aid effort is slow in the context of Pakistan. Non government agencies working round the clock with their limited capacities. While governments of developing countries are seemingly accused for their inefficacy to handle tragedies, existentialism boost humanity to revive as it happened in the post Tsunami’s communities in the Asia-Pacific. Political leaders often appeared alike celebrities delivering relief to the distressed people and having snap shots in the media. Mainstream media apparently broadcast tragedy with enormous enthusiasm. However, people survive, grow and revive in the face of difficulties. This is the spirit of humanity that overcomes trauma of losing livestock as well as relatives and repeatedly ‘pushing the boulder up the mountain’.

Nature’s fury is observed from Pakistan to China leaving thousands to mourn for their loved ones. Scientists are searching for causes of such a monster flood and they mostly blame ‘climate change’ in line with IPCC’s hypothesis. IPCC has tons of scientific materials along with lots of graphs and tables to explain changing climate and the future of the planet. Other group has claimed some sort of cyclical process of earth changes through couple of thousands of years. Whatever the hypothesis is, human miseries out of these apocalyptic disasters are quite visible in the recent days.

Policy thinkers tirelessly developed mitigation and adaptation strategies besides organizing conferences. Cop 15’s climate change accord is one of the outcomes of international community’s effort to hold governments accountable. National plan of actions are out there in the hand governments containing nice words as well as lots of commitments and strategies to protect citizens from adversities of such disasters. Multilateral and bilateral donor agencies are quite busy to negotiate with governments of developing countries on how to accumulate  and spend fund as well. Rights based organizations are busy how to hold these governments accountable and transparent to be little kind with their citizens.

Natural disaster is no more a national concern. The scale of catastrophe disturbs global conscience. Volcanic eruptions, frequent earth trembles, heavy monsoon, floods and super cyclones have hit nations indiscriminately for last couple of years. Some may worry that none of the strategies, policy measures and fundings could be much worthy if nature demonstrates such a havoc. People, governments and markets are racing against time to air the bubbles of economy. Making money is the indicator of progress and prosperity in the chase pool of modernity. Thus, reduction of carbon emission appears to be an issue that governments do not like to think or talk much. Adaptation is a humanitarian talk in the down town. Climate change undergoes academic rigour and investigation. Time is ticking, wider scale apocalyptic disasters are causing more and more casualties, which gradually threats the very existence of human species.
