Community service activities consisted of main activities and additional activities (group activities, partner activities and special activities). This KKN activity aimed to increase empathy and concern among the students as well as providing experiences and a learning process for students to explore village potential that can be developed by the community. The KKN implementation method consisted of survey activities and planning additional planned activities.

The village government and its apparatus involved many KKN students in carrying out village activities, such as commemorating the 77th Independence Day of the Republic of Indonesia, posyandu and poswindu.

The Abulyatama University KKN activities were expected to provide benefits to the people of Gampung Tantuha, especially to create peace and increase the interest of the children of Tantuha Village
