Denpasar- The 2021 Development Coordination Meeting (Rakobang) which was held by the Ganesha University of Education (Undiksha) received appreciation from the Buleleng Regency Government. It is hoped that the program designed will have a direct impact on regional development. “I really appreciate the activities carried out by Undiksha to formulate 2021 development,” said the Head of the Buleleng Regional Development Planning Agency (Bappeda), Ir.

The former Head of the Buleleng Environment Agency (DLH) said that the existence of Undiksha had had a positive impact on the region. This is most visible in its impact on microeconomics. “This is an indication of the number of Undiksha students. If one person spends IDR 30,000 per day calculated, with a total of around 13,000 students, how much is the turnover of that money every month? It could be billions,” he said. “In order to advance the health sector. The government has built a hospital. The Faculty of Medicine at Undiksha can also support each other. This is a very good collaboration and continues to be improved, “he said.
Delivered further, in the context of community empowerment and poverty alleviation, the Regency Government also wishes to work together with Undiksha in designing strategic programs. “This requires collaboration with Undiksha. If Undiksha has a study, it can be submitted to the local government. As with poverty alleviation, including in data validation. Maybe this is the earliest we can work together, and of course, there is approval from the Regent,” he said. In the previous year, cooperation was established in various sectors, such as tourism and agriculture development. “Next year an R&D Agency will be formed, and SKPD is expected to have innovation. This needs synergy with universities,” he added.
Chancellor of Undiksha, Prof. Dr. I Nyoman Jampel, M.Pd., stated that he was ready to be “used” by the government in solving problems in society and developing new breakthroughs that support development. “Undiksha has no less great human resources. We are ready to be used by the government in program development,” he said.
