“Since last July, for approximately one month students have been spread out in several districts for the MBKM Building Villages activity. “There are those who do KKN in the village, internships in companies, and other activities that can be claimed (recognized) as lectures,” said the Dean.
Through the MBKM activity, the students said that they were very enthusiastic when undergoing the program. The students had the opportunity to see, learn, and even directly apply the knowledge they gained during class in the field. Several student products that were exhibited in this activity were solid organic fertilizer from palm oil waste, fermentation as a substitute feed, coenzyme, and others.
