The Independent Campus Learning Program (MBKM) is an initiative from the Ministry of Education that allows students to take courses outside their study program and carry out activities outside campus through various learning activities. This program aims to help students develop themselves holistically. In the even semester of the 2023/2024 academic year, Class of 2021 students from the Agricultural Economics and Agribusiness Study Program (Prodi EPA) and the Agricultural Extension and Communication Study Program (Prodi PKP) participated in this MBKM program.
For Ines, a 2020 Agricultural Extension and Communication Study Program student, Real Work Lectures (KKN) is a call to contribute to society, especially in Indonesia’s Disadvantaged, Frontier, and Outermost (3T) regions. Therefore, in the KKN-PPM UGM Period 2 2023, Ines chose to carry out service in the Southeast Maluku Regency, especially in the Ohoi Dian Darat area, Hoat Sorbay District.
Ines was inspired by several of her seniors who had also served on Kei Island. The desire to see firsthand the conditions of communities outside Java, as well as the beauty of the white sand beaches on the Kei Islands, was the main trigger for Ines to choose KKN in Southeast Maluku. Moreover, the white sand beach in Kei is known as the beach with the finest white sand on the Asian continent.
Haidar, a student of the Agricultural Extension and Communication Study Program class of 2020, carried out the UGM PPM Real Work Lecture (KKN) period 2 of 2023 in Sembungan Village, Kejajar District, Wonosobo Regency, Central Java. This village is famous as the highest village on the island of Java and has a unique commodity, namely carica fruit. Haidar chose KKN in Sembungan Village because he was interested in carica fruit, which can only be grown in certain places. Apart from that, Haidar wants to gain new experience in agriculture in the highlands and enjoy the beauty of natural tourism in the area.
