TANGERANG – This year is UMN’s first opportunity to be involved in the 2022 National Kuliah Kerja Nyata (KKN) program. As one of the participants, UMN was invited to attend a coordination meeting at the University of Palangka Raya on Tuesday (29/3) and a direct visit to Kapuas Regency and Pulang Pisau Regency on Wednesday (30/3).

Andy Firmansyah, the UMN Research and Community Service Institute (LPPM) staff, said that this visit was helpful as a communication forum between the university and the organizers. In addition, direct visits to KKN locations are also an opportunity for observation to find solutions and develop the potential goals to be achieved later.

“This program is an opportunity for UMN to collaborate with the public and private universities in developing a food estate program in Central Kalimantan. Also to expand connections between universities to foster collaboration in the fields of research, community service, and innovation,” Andy explained.
