One of the most evocative messages came from A. Mahbub Djunaidi, S.Pd., M.Si., Bappeda Blora Representative. He firmly reminded that KKN is not just a matter of reports or documentation of activities. "We have received many students from UNNES, IPB, up to UGM.

Mahbub invites students to directly touch the village problem with fresh ideas: forms village cooperatives, Creating a simple digital application, examine the potential of agricultural products, to plunge to overcome social problems such as children not school (ATS). He hopes that the student program will not stop on paper, But grounded in the community.
In line with that, Dr. Bambang Anto Wibowo, S.H., M.H. From TP2D Blora reminded that every KKN program refers to the nine priorities of the construction of the Blora Regent. "Blora needs an innovator. Create Digital Market Training, Move the Literacy of Arabic and Latin Literacy, Develop biofloc, give birth to millennial farmers. That's what the community hopes for,”He said with full hope.

From informal education in Madrasah Diniyah, Public Speaking Training, to strengthening the village economy through the Red and White Cooperative and superior products based on local crops. A small step towards a big change.
Enthusiasm also radiated from the village heads. They hope that the presence of students can become a catalyst to improve the status of the village, reduce poverty, and improve data collection, Especially about ATS and Madrasas who have not yet entered the Ministry of Religion.
