Politeknik Piksi Ganesha Conducts Initial Visit for 2025 Kemendiktisaintek Community Service Grant Program: Implementation of Maggot House Technology in Maleer Village
Bandung, August 1, 2025
Politeknik Piksi Ganesha, through its lecturer team implementing the Community Service Program (PKM) funded by the 2025 Kemenristekdikti Grant, carried out an initial visit to the program site in Maleer Village, Batununggal District, Bandung City. This visit marks the first stage of the program implementation titled “Optimizing Household Organic Waste Management through the Application of Maggot House Technology”, led by Candra Mecca Sufyana, with team members Muhammad Prakarsa Al Qadr Saleh and Sani Fitriyani.
The visit aimed to establish direct communication and coordination with the local community partners as well as to conduct a preliminary survey of the project location. The program is designed to help residents address household organic waste issues through the application of Black Soldier Fly (BSF) or maggot cultivation technology, which is proven effective in decomposing organic waste into valuable products such as animal feed and compost fertilizer.
During the activity, the team was warmly welcomed by the village representatives and residents of RW 06, the designated implementation area. Field discussions and observations were conducted to assess facility readiness while also providing the community with an early overview of the benefits and technical process of the Maggot House Technology to be applied. The program is structured to actively involve the community through training, technical assistance, and continuous monitoring.
This initiative reflects Politeknik Piksi Ganesha’s commitment to supporting sustainable development programs, particularly in creating clean and healthy environments and promoting a community-based circular economy. The program also contributes to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) and SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production).
