KUNINGAN – Two students from Kuningan University (UNIKU), Adiya Dewa Pramayuda and Adrian Muhfizar Ramadan, are ready to bring Indonesia's name to the international level at the end of 2024.
Adiya Dewa Pramayuda, a first semester student from the Management Study Program from Cirahayu Village, Luragung District, will compete in the Man of The Year event which will take place from November 9 to 19, 2024 in Chiangmai, Thailand. He will compete with participants from 30 countries, including Thailand, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, and Brazil.
After going through a strict selection process in the 2024 Putera Indonesia Election, Adiya successfully won the title of Putera Indonesia 2024.
"This event seeks young people who have strong characters in the fields of education, conservation, and humanity. I am proud to represent Indonesia with this title in Thailand," said Adiya.
To face the competition, Adiya prepared herself physically, mentally, and by honing her critical thinking skills. She is also actively involved in advocacy with SAS Forum Kuningan, which focuses on youth empowerment in the fields of health, education, arts, and social.
In addition, Adiya contributed to a social project with Putera Indonesia Livquid Tower, which focuses on the construction of drilled wells for areas experiencing water shortages, with the first well being inaugurated in Panawangan, Ciamis.
Meanwhile, Adrian Muhfizar Ramadan, who is also a first-semester student from the Indonesian Language and Literature Education Study Program from Kalimanggis Wetan Village, will appear in the Philippines in December 2024 at the Man of Universe event, carrying an advocacy mission related to education, tourism potential, and local culture from Kuningan Regency.
Adrian's journey to the Philippines began with an event organized by the Jabar Juara Organization and TVRI West Java, where he managed to beat many competitors from various districts/cities in West Java and continued to the national level.
"I became the champion in the Gentlemen Of Indonesia event, and from there I was selected to take part in an international youth exchange in the Philippines in December 2024," he explained.
Adrian is also active as an actor in Teater Pecut Dapur Sastra UNIKU and is involved in advocacy that he pioneered himself in SAS Forum Kuningan. He is also one of the recipients of the Jabar Future Leader Scholarship at a young age, and was selected to participate in the Global Education Program to Japan through a very strict selection.
These two students have an important mission to introduce Indonesia's cultural potential and advocacy in the international arena, especially in the fields of education, conservation, and humanity.
