Prof. Suharnomo firmly stated, “We want to ensure that the campus environment is not only a center of intellectual excellence but also a strong moral fortress.”
“Collaboration with the BNNP of Central Java is a systematic preventive effort so that our students are not only academically intelligent but also possess the integrity to reject all forms of narcotics abuse for a better future of the nation,” he added.
In line with this, the Head of BNNP Central Java, Toton Rasyid, S.H., M.H., stated that the synergy spans a broad scope, from early detection to the development of human resource competencies. “Campuses are strategic partners for BNN in breaking the chain of drug trafficking. Through the ‘Goes to Campus’ program, we prioritize a humanitarian and scientific educational approach. We are committed to fully supporting UNDIP through data provision, research facilitation, and internship programs for students so they can directly understand the real challenges of P4GN in the field.”
The cooperation program also targets the development of educational materials on the dangers of narcotics abuse, which will be organically integrated into course curricula. In addition, both parties agreed to exchange data and information and to publish scientific papers in the field of narcotics, focusing on innovation, technology, and healthcare services.
