The SRD group focuses on conducting collaborative activities of BUMDesa to collaborate with other institutions both inside and outside the village. The development of rural areas is an important aspect to collaborate with many stakeholders in the village, such as the central government, regions, campuses, community institutions, civil organizations, and the business world. In addition to being related to collaboration, regional functions can also be used to bridge village and city interests. As an area, the aggregation of potential villages can be articulated more strongly in the face of urban interests. However, efforts to position the village with many stakeholders with all its potential.
