BOGOR: The Rectorate of the Bogor Institute of Agriculture
(IPB) is planning to distribute 9,000 bags of wheat flour to its
malnourished students in January.

The plan was revealed on Monday following a recent medical
checkup of newly enrolled students, which found that 57 percent
of them were malnourished.

Many of them came from remote areas throughout the country.

Besides, about 500 students could not afford the pre-dawn meal
during the recent fasting month of Ramadhan. All of them live at
the campus dormitory.--JP
