Director of Student Affairs, Dr. Suharyadi, M.Sc, when noticing the distribution of logistics at UGM Center on Wednesday (1/4), said the criteria for the assistance given not only to underprivileged students but also to students who were beginning to experience difficulties accessing logistics.i

"A logistics package for five days contains rice, sardines, soy sauce, chili sauce, dry bread, and vitamins," he said.

There are 900 logistical recipient students. While funding sources come from universities, academicians, alumni, and donors.
