Jakarta, October 24, 2026 – University Trisakti held a Final Presentation and Closing Ceremony for the Independent Business Lecture – Applied Science and Technology (KUM-ITT) Presidential Decree on Village Development 2026, on Saturday (10/24/2026) online. This activity provided an opportunity to present the results of the community service program implemented by students in Cibereum Hamlet, Cibadak Village, Sukamakmur District, Bogor Regency, West Java.

The event began with a report from Prof. Dr. Ir. Astri Rinanti, MT, IPM., ASEAN Eng., as Director of the Institutee for Research and Community Service (LPPM) University Trisakti . In her report, she stated that this year’s implementation of the KUM-ITT Kepresma was the second year that students went directly into the field with a program that increasingly met the recognition criteria for community service activities in the KUM-ITT course. This development shows an increase in the quality of the Kepresma program, which previously had a lot of direct contact with the community, but had not yet fully met the requirements for academic recognition.

The KUM-ITT Village Development 2026 program began in early August 2026, encompassing a series of briefings, a midterm exam (UTS) in the form of a work program presentation, and thorough preparation before students enter the field. The next stage is a 10-day community service program, followed by mentoring in the preparation of outputs and a final exam (UAS). This series is designed to ensure the program runs smoothly, from planning to evaluation of activity results.

During this implementation, 134 students participated in community service activities, supported by six field supervisors. This program was designed to address community needs through a number of activities, while strengthening the link between higher education learning and the direct application of science and technology in the community.

In his remarks, the Rector University Trisakti , Prof. Dr. Ir. Kadarsah Suryadi, DEA., expressed his appreciation for the team’s commitment to implementing programs tailored to the community’s needs. He expressed his hope that the recognition as a best partner would continue and serve as an inspiration and model for other community service activities, both within University Trisakti and other universities.

The Rector also emphasized the importance of sustainable village development through various aspects, ranging from health and education, economic independence, disaster resilience, and environmental preservation. In line with this commitment, efforts to achieve Sustainable Villages are part of University Trisakti contribution to supporting village development that benefits communities, both locally and internationally.

The KUM-ITT Village Development 2026 program is implemented through six program groups: Renewable Energy, Water Infrastructure, Public Health, Economic Empowerment, Rocket Stoves, and Education. Each group focuses on a different area to support improving the quality of life and empowering rural communities through the application of science and technology.

The event continued with a video screening of KUM-ITT’s activities, including an artificial intelligence (AI)-based educational video and documentation of the program’s implementation in the field. The screenings served as a platform to showcase the process, results, and contributions of students during the community service program.

The final presentation and closing ceremony of KUM-ITT’s Village Development 2026 program concluded with a question-and-answer session, providing a forum for discussion and evaluation of the program’s implementation. Through this activity, University Trisakti continues to encourage students to apply academic competencies effectively, foster social awareness, and make sustainable contributions to the community.
