The community service program, attended by the Head of Marga Village, the Pekaseh Subak Ole and Subak Sidang Rapuh, farmers in Subak Ole and Subak Sidang Rapuh, village officials, the Dean of the Faculty of Agriculture, who also served as a resource person, lecturers from the Faculty of Agriculture, and students from the 2025 Udayana University Community Service Program (KKN PPM), was held at the Wantilan Puputan Margarana on Thursday, August 14, 2025. The Implementation Arrangement between the Faculty of Agriculture, Udayana University, and Marga Dauh Puri Village also took place.
