In its initial step, the program will be applied in villages in southern Java and a few other villages outside Java. "We will keep on looking at alumni database to search for alumnis in specific regions in Indonesia in order to expand the program to these regions," Head of the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Development Office Suhono Harso stated. This program includes the building of village cooperation offices as the wheels of venture capital for campus innovations. What needs to be done to specific villages will be determined from the outcome of focus group discussions between the alumnis.
