This time the campus with the tag 'House of the Champions' broke a record as a state university that collaborated with the most Village-Owned Enterprises (Bumdes) and Joint Village-Owned Enterprises (Bumdesma).
There were around 1,408 Bumdes and bumdesma which signed a hybrid collective work agreement in the Auditorium, 11th Floor, Rectorate Building, Lidah Wetan Campus, Surabaya on Monday, 28 August 2023.
The chairman of the committee, Prof. Dr. Slamet Setiawan, M.A., Ph.D., said that UNESA was One Step Ahead initiated by the Chancellor Prof. Dr. Nurhasan, M.Kes., is an extraordinary driving force for the academic community, so from that slogan his party is obsessed with always working and achieving the best performance in their respective fields.

Therefore today's activities are part of UNESA's 59th Anniversary as a form of our commitment. The number 1,408 cooperation has meaning, which refers to the UNESA Anniversary which is commemorated every August 14 (the 8th month) each year," he said.
Vice Chancellor for Planning, Development, Cooperation, and Information Technology and Communications, Prof. Dr. Siti Nur Azizah, S.H., M.Hum., said that MURI this time was a bit different, because the focus was on working with the Ministry of Village, PDTT for the development of village-owned enterprises and regional-owned enterprises in East Java.
The scope of the synergy is still related to the tridarma of higher education which includes aspects of human resource development which are expected to increase the role and potential of the village. "UNESA has the potential and human resources that can support the improvement of the quality of bumdes and bumdesma," he said.
Working on Tourism Villages
False one that has been developed is bumdes and bumdesma which are tourism villages. Later the MBKM program by involving lecturers and students is expected to encourage the development and progress of tourist villages. For this reason, all study programs are involved in this collaboration.
In addition, this collaboration will also be realized in the form of developing sports science, arts and culture, language villages, village management, potential development and optimization of village-owned enterprises products and bumdesma. "We and the Ministry of Village PDTT have reviewed and made village development modules in 5 provinces including East Java which we are strengthening through this collaboration," he explained.
This agenda, continued Prof. Azizah, is to strengthen positioning< /em> UNESA as PTN-BH. In recent years, UNESA has been included in the top 10 main performance indicators or IKU 6 related to cooperation. It is hoped that this will be one of the breakthroughs to strengthen the field of cooperation within the scope of PTN-BH.
Target; Advanced and Independent Villages

Harlina Sulistyorini, M.Sc., conveyed that the collaboration this time is part of an effort not only to increase human resource capacity, but also to develop superior products in the village.
"The resources and potential of the village are enormous, but indeed they have not been maximally utilized. With the involvement of all UNESA study programs and human resources, they can develop every sub-sector in the village. The target is that villages can be more advanced and independent," he hoped.
