Abstract

This community empowerment program focused on the cultivation of Trigona bees and the development of a local honey-based micro-enterprise in Lengkongjaya Village, Cigalontang District, Tasikmalaya Regency. The program aimed to enhance community capacity in stingless bee cultivation, product processing and packaging, as well as digital marketing to strengthen the competitiveness of “Madu Kampung Pramuka”. Activities included field observations, interviews, focus group discussions, technical training on sustainable beekeeping, branding and packaging assistance, and digital marketing education. The results indicated significant improvement in farmers’ knowledge regarding eco-friendly bee cultivation, promotional content creation, and the use of social media and e-commerce platforms. The honey products were packaged more attractively and marketed through digital platforms. The program also fostered ecological awareness, particularly the importance of maintaining flowering vegetation as bee forage. Social and economic benefits included increased household income, stronger village identity as a Honey Village, and enhanced community collaboration. Overall, trigona-based honey enterprise development effectively supports local economic resilience while promoting environmental sustainability through an eco-entrepreneurship approach.

Abstract

This community empowerment program through a 35-day service-learning KKN in Ciparigi Village, Sukadana, Ciamis, aimed to strengthen human capital, improve public services, and revitalize local microenterprises, especially honey producers and handicrafts. The team applied participatory observation, focus group discussions, and issue–potential mapping to co-design six workstreams: education, health, economy, environment, institutional strengthening, and disaster mitigation. Key outputs included: interactive teaching and recycling crafts in elementary schools, nutrition and anti-stunting outreach, aloe-based hand sanitizer practice, digital marketing mentoring for UMKM and halal certification socialization, a village gate and waste bins, a web-based asset inventory, and tree planting in landslide-prone areas. Quantitatively, 11 programs engaged around 200 beneficiaries; qualitatively, motivation to learn rose, hygiene and nutrition awareness improved, UMKM began online promotion, and village administration became more efficient. The program demonstrates an integrated model linking livelihood upgrading, civic infrastructure, and digital public goods for sustainable community capacity building.

Abstract

Gen Z is known as a generation born in the digital era characterized by fast, open, and technology-based communication. However, amidst easy access to information and social media, a phenomenon of silence or a tendency towards silent behavior has emerged in social interactions, especially in the campus environment. This activity aims to foster communication awareness among Gen Z to be more open, bold in expressing opinions and not closing themselves off to differences of opinion in academic and social environments, reducing the phenomenon of silent behavior or passive attitudes in communication, both in the classroom, organizations, and digital media, by fostering self- confidence and courage to express opinions. Analyze the communication tendencies of LP3I Polytechnic students as representatives of Gen Z, and understand the factors that influence their courage in expressing opinions and emotions. Quantitative descriptive is a method used through the distribution of questionnaire questions to respondents of active students of LP3I Polytechnic. The main factors causing silence are fear of social judgment, lack of environmental empathy, and a hierarchical communication culture that silence is not a solution in building healthy and productive communication in the Gen Z community. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen empathetic communication literacy, public speaking training, and support from educational institutions to create a climate of open dialogue that supports the psychological well-being of students.

Abstract

Community empowerment is a strategic approach to improving social welfare and fostering local economic independence through the utilization of village potential. The Community Service and Learning Program (KKN-PPM) conducted by Universitas Perjuangan Tasikmalaya in Cipaku Village, Ciamis Regency, aimed to strengthen local capacities and address multi-dimensional challenges faced by rural communities. This activity employed a participatory approach through observation, community discussions, potential mapping, and problem-based methods involving local stakeholders. The program covered six main sectors: education, health, economy, environment, institutional development, and disaster mitigation. Educational programs such as free tutoring, literacy corners, and agro-education improved students’ learning motivation and agricultural awareness. Health programs—including free medical check-ups, herbal medicine cultivation, and hygiene promotion—enhanced community well-being. Economic activities such as financial literacy seminars and digital business creation empowered local micro-entrepreneurs. Environmental and disaster mitigation programs encouraged eco-conscious behavior and preparedness for natural hazards. Overall, the KKN-PPM program effectively strengthened collaboration between students, the village government, and the community, fostering sustainable empowerment and local wisdom–based rural development.

Abstract

This community service program aimed to enhance the capacity of livestock farmers in Linggasirna Village, Sariwangi District, Tasikmalaya Regency through the application of rice straw silage technology and livestock health education. The activity was conducted as part of the Community Service Program (KKN) of Universitas Perjuangan Tasikmalaya from July 22 to August 26, 2026, involving 15 students from five faculties in collaboration with local cattle and goat farmers. The methods employed included community education, technology diffusion, and hands-on technical training. The results indicated that the implementation of rice straw silage technology effectively improved farmers’ skills in processing agricultural waste into high-nutrient and storable alternative feed, thereby reducing dependence on fresh forage during the dry season. Furthermore, livestock health and welfare education increased farmers’ awareness of biosecurity, sanitation, and hygienic waste management practices. The participatory, practice-based approach proved effective in facilitating knowledge and technology transfer while strengthening collaboration among students, academic supervisors, and the local community to promote a more productive and sustainable smallholder livestock system.

Abstract

This comprehensive community service program was designed to address the multidimensional challenges faced by farmers and micro-enterprise actors in Bayasari Village, Ciamis Regency, with main focus on digital marketing limitations and financial literacy gaps. Through a participatory action research approach, the program implemented a series of integrated interventions covering six development sectors simultaneously: education, health, economy, environment, institutional development, and disaster mitigation. Methodologies consistently applied throughout the program included participatory rural appraisal for problem mapping, focused group discussions for solution formulation, hands-on practical training for capacity building, and continuous mentoring to ensure knowledge adoption. The achieved results showed significant success with improved digital capacity among 32 core participants, where 85% successfully mastered online platform management independently. In addition to the main economic outcomes, the program also successfully generated positive impacts in supporting sectors, including increased health awareness among elderly groups, strengthened environmental education in elementary education institutions, and enhanced institutional capacity through the development of an integrated village profile website. The successful implementation of this program empirically proves the importance of holistic and multi-sectoral approaches in building rural community resilience, while affirming the strategic value of multi-party collaboration between academics, village government, and communities in creating sustainable socio-economic transformation.
