About 6,000 students from The Universitas Gajah Mada (UGM) in the seventh semester, on June 23, 2018, went to villages throughout Indonesia.

Biak (Antaranews Papua) – A total of 30 students from the University of Gajah Mada (UGM) Yogyakarta conducted a real work class (KKN) and a 40-day community service program in Biak Numfor District, Papua.

The Acting Regent of Biak, Herry Ario Naap after receiving UGM students at Biak on Monday, said KKN was part of the University’s Tri Dharma program that students must do.

“I hope that 30 UGM students who do KKN must be able to understand the culture of the local community, so this is important so that it can support the success of students,” he said.

Herry Naap hopes that the UGM student KKN can map all the problems that exist at the location and can provide solutions to all problems faced by the community in accordance with the fields of knowledge obtained during their studies.

The UGM Community Service Program, according to Herry Naap, is one of the structured KKN programs and one location will receive KKN students each year.

The UGM Community Service Program, he added, has had a standard “grand design” to be developed in each region.
