Five PKM UNISA Yogyakarta Successfully Awarded Dikti Funding, Ranked 6th in LLDIKTI Region V

Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta has once again achieved a notable accomplishment at the national level. Five teams from UNISA Yogyakarta’s Student Creativity Program (PKM) successfully secured funding from the Directorate General of Higher Education (Ditjen Dikti) for the year 2025.

This achievement places UNISA Yogyakarta at sixth place in the list of higher education institutions in the LLDIKTI V Special Region of Yogyakarta that received the most funding for the PKM program this year. This also serves as evidence that the spirit of innovation and dedication among UNISA students is growing stronger and having a tangible impact.

The funded PKM projects fall under the Student Creativity Program for Community Service (PKM-PM) scheme, a program organized by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology (Kemendikbudristek) to encourage students to actively participate in community service activities based on the application of science, technology, and art.

The Head of the Student Affairs and Alumni Bureau (BKA) at UNISA Yogyakarta, Yekti Satriyandari, expressed her appreciation for this outstanding achievement. “This is the result of the hard work of enthusiastic students, supported by competent supervisors and an increasingly structured PKM coaching system. This achievement serves as a major motivation to continue developing the creativity of UNISA students who are focused on community service and practical solutions in the field,” said Yekti.

During the selection process, UNISA’s PKM teams successfully outshone thousands of proposals from various universities across Indonesia. The five teams that secured funding will soon implement their community service programs in various regions aligned with the strategic issues they have raised, ranging from public health, women’s empowerment, creative economy, to appropriate technology.
