One of the work programs of KKN activities is socialization, here the KKN Team provides efforts to the community of Kalisemo Village, Loano District, Purworejo Regency in the form of transferring knowledge about the use of live apothecary plants (curcuma xanthorrhiza) by carrying out outreach activities to improve public health through innovations in processing live apothecary plants (curcuma xanthorrhiza) into ginger pudding. Pudding is a dessert that usually has a sweet taste, in contrast to curcuma which predominantly has a bitter and pungent taste.

The target achieved from this activity is that the community is able to innovate in the use of live apothecary plants (curcuma xanthorrhiza) into a product that can increase entrepreneurial opportunities.
