IPB turns out 1,191 students

BOGOR: The Bogor Institute of Agriculture (IPB) on Friday
graduated as many as 1,191 students with various degrees --
doctorates, masters, and bachelors.

The graduation ceremony was led by IPB Rector Ahmad Ansori
Mattjik at the Darmaga campus in Bogor, West Java.

Ahmad called on the new graduates to apply their knowledge to
improve the agriculture sector, particularly in remote areas.

"IPB graduates must be able to revitalize the agriculture
sector. If there are no good human resources who want to go to
remote areas, then we will not be able to improve our
agricultural sectors," he added.

He expressed concern that the majority of IPB graduates
preferred to work in urban areas, while their knowledge and
skills were needed in remote areas. --Antara
