Lasmawan who also serves as Deputy Chancellor II of the University of Education of Ganesha (Undiksha) said that this forum had tried to create several innovative programs to strengthen togetherness, especially between state tertiary institutions concerning financial governance, planning, and human resources. However, in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, which demands intelligence in responding to the situation, his party hopes that the Deputy/Assistant Chancellor will have more knowledge, especially PTN regarding tips on program and budget management. “That is why in every forum activity, we try to bring in several sources to gain some knowledge and added knowledge. And tonight, we at the forum deliberately invited the Director, to get knowledge and tips on how we can do the program and budget correctly and actually,” he said in the meeting which was also accompanied by the Head of the Bureau of General Affairs and Finance and the Head of Undiksha’s Planning Section.

On that occasion, Lasmawan presented the Deputy/Assistant Rector II who handles the field of finance, especially in some colleges simultaneously in the field of planning, human resources, and infrastructure facilities that influence the performance of their respective institutions.
