To celebrate the 78th Anniversary of the Faculty of Agriculture at Universitas Gadjah Mada (Faperta UGM), the Faculty of Agriculture organized a fishing competition. This competition was divided into two categories: male and female. The female category was held at the Fisheries Department Pond on Friday, 9 August 2024, while the male category took place at the Belik River Stream of the Fisheries Department on Friday, 16 August 2024.
Nur Ari Purnomo, a staff member of the Fisheries Department’s Administrative Office and a member of the sports committee, explained that the high enthusiasm of temporary daily workers (THL), educational staff (tendik), and lecturers was the main reason for choosing a fishing competition as part of the anniversary celebrations. This event received an enthusiastic response, evidenced by the participation of 30 female and 90 male contestants. Although the fishing competition has become an annual event at the Faculty of Agriculture, it always brings a unique atmosphere each year.
