A member of KKN Group 36, Nisrina proposed an idea to promote the potential of roof tile production in Logede village.
“Roof tile produced in Logede Village has high quality. It has the potential to be introduced to a wider target market. Bokcoy chips production also has potential to be marketed to increase local community’s economy,” Nisrina said.
Kebumen District Government welcomed Nisrina’s idea. The Chief of Education Office Kebumen stated that the idea is a good proposal. He also suggested that further research on the bokchoy chip shelf life could be conducted in the future.
The Chief of UP KKN UNS, Prof. Sudibya, also suggested that the bokcoy chip is promoted at the LPPM UNS expo on October 2021.
Nisrina also said that she got new experiences during her KKN in Logede Village.
“KKN in Logede Village was exciting, Logede Villager’s enthusiasm and synergy in assisting our program were laudable. For about one month, we implement our KKN; hopefully, what we implemented could benefit and bring positive impact for Logede people. Hopefully, the knowledge we shared could move and start changes for better Logede Village,” Nisrina concluded. Humas UNS
