UTM Knowledge Transfer Program (KTP) with Orang Asli Pos Betau, Kuala Lipis, Pahang

It’s time now to give back to the community.

The Deputy of Vice Chancellor Office (Research & Innovation), UTM KL and MJIIT are currently working side-by-side for a USR project named “Program Pembangunan Modal Insan Melalui Transformasi Ekonomi dan Pendidikan ke Arah Kecemerlangan Komuniti Orang Asli”. This main project is divided into four sub-projects which are :

  1. Pembangunan Kemahiran Komuniti Orang Asli Menggunakan Teknologi Hidroponik untuk Penanaman Pelbagai Sayuran dan Buahan – Prof. Emeritus Dr. Md Nor Bin Musa.
  2. Pembangunan Kemahiran Pembuatan Peralatan Hidroponik dan Sistem Penyejukan Cecair Hidroponik untuk Sumber Pendapatan Tambahan Komuniti Orang Asli – Assoc. Prof. Dr. Shaikh Ahmad Zaki Bin Shaikh Salim.
  3. Penghasilan Baja Kompos daripada Bahan Buangan Pertanian dan Sisa Hutan Ke Arah Kelestarian Alam Sekitar Bersama Komuniti Orang Asli – Dr. Fazrena Nadia Binti Md Akhir.
  4. Pengaplikasian Sistem Komersial Pengumpulan dan Pemasaran Berpusat Produk Pertanian dan Kraftangan Komuniti Orang Asli – Assoc. Prof. Dr. Akbariah Binti Mohd Mahdzir.

We will be sharing our knowledge and expertise with the Orang Asli community in Pos Betau, Pahang. We are so lucky to be awarded the UTM KTP-Research Innovation Grant 2021 (RM20,000) for this project, funded by Centre of Community and Industry Network (CCIN), UTM.

Thanks UTM!
