To celebrate the Bengali New Year, members of the Cultural Club organized an all-day 'Bioshakhi Mela' on April 16, 2006 at the BU Indoor Games Room where the Economics Club also held a Food Festival. Dr. Salehuddin Ahmed, Pro-VC, BU inaugurated the fair. The fair offered a wide range of stalls of handicrafts, t-shirts, saris and jewelries and traditional snacks. One of the main attractions of the Mela was a Bangla message center for sending email or mobile phone messages in Bangla alphabets. Professor J R Choudhury, VC, BU, teachers and staff visited the Mela. The Boishakhi Mela and the Food Festival together was a great success in terms of student participation.
