However, through the Merdeka Campus, this program is encouraged and also funded by the Ministry of Education and Culture, both for studentsinboundnoroutbound.

More Dawn to thank you to PMM 3 studentsInboundwho have chosen PNM as a place to carry out PMM. "I am sure that Madiun City is a city that will hopefully be interesting and can provide new experiences for all of you." Fajar said.
The PNM Director said that Madiun City is still strong in East Javanese culture. However, because it is located on the border with Central Java, there are slight differences in terms of language, especially when compared starting from the easternmost tip of East Java, namely Banyuwangi.
Regarding this, one of the PMM students, Gilbert William Zamasi, also felt the differences in accents and dialects between Java, especially Madiun and Sumatra. "In terms of language and accent and dialect, the voice is different from us in Sumatra. In Java we can hear whispers, but in Sumatra people have to speak loudly." Said this PMM student from Batam State Polytechnic.
Furthermore, Fajar also said that Madiun is famous for pecel. In Madiun, from morning until midnight, you won't have any difficulty finding a stall still selling pecel. Like PMM student Yogi Aidil Saputra from Bengkalis State Polytechnic, Riau Province, who said he eats pecel every day because the taste is addictive.
"The impression of the message for two weeks in Madiun City was extraordinary. Madiun City is famous for Pecel City,fun factHe eats pecel every day because he's addicted. Currentlyshock culture"In Sumatra we usually eat it spicy, but in Madiun it's a bit sweet." Yogi said.
PMM student from Dharma Andalas University, Amela Mandira, also experienced culture shock. He said he experienced a culture shock related to food prices which tend to be cheaper than in his home area, Padang. “Culture shock"It's probably about very cheap food in contrast to Padang City which is very expensive." he explained.
This student from West Sumatra also admitted that the learning process at PNM went very well. "The way of teaching is very cool, the learning process is very good and is supported by super friendly and great lecturers. And PNM is one of the best polytechnics in Indonesia." Amelia explained.
Different from other PMM participants, Sriwulandari, who is a PMM student from Aceh Polytechnic, admitted that he watched a film in the cinema for the first time because there were no cinemas in Aceh. "There are no cinemas in Aceh, so I watched a cinema for the first time here. Because Sharia City doesn't have a cinema." Sriwulandari said.
PNM and the Railway Industry in Madiun
Apart from culture and customs, Madiun also has the only railway industry in Indonesia and even in Southeast Asia, PT INKA. Therefore, this condition is also one of the reasons PNM has specific advantages in the railway sector.
"So maybe if you look for a PT that has a rotating train (ed: complete with rails surrounding the laboratory) like this, including a workshop, you can probably count them on your fingers. Maybe only three, perhaps. PNM, PPI but mayberollingstock"It's not like us, another thing is that STTD is also the same." Dawn explained.
Even so, PPI and STTD are not under the Ministry of Education and Culture, but rather under the Ministry of Transportation. "Well, the only one under the Ministry of Education and Culture is PNM which has a laboratory like that." Fajar explained.
The PNM Director also said that four months was deemed sufficient to complete various PMM programs at PNM and also exchange experiences. "I think we all have the same thoughts, the same goal, that in the future our students will be able to exchange experiences, adapt to academic life at PNM together with the lecturers." he said.
Fajar also advised and entrusted PMM students to the lecturers and department heads so that they could provide experience and information without any restrictions like PNM students. "For the past four months they have been our students too. Students are special because they come from all regions of Indonesia, even though PNM students also come from all regions of Indonesia." Fajar said in a message.

Not only entertainment, in Welcoming PMM 3 StudentsInboundPNM also provided outreach regarding PPKS (Prevention and Handling of Sexual Violence) by the Chair of the PNM PPKS Task Force Alief Sutantohadi, S.S., M.Hum.
