Gyeongnam Nonghyup Donates 10 Million KRW for University Development to Gyeongsang National University.

The donation ceremony held on the 16th was attended by Ryu Gil-nyeon, head of Gyeongnam Nonghyup, and Kwon Jin-hoe, president of Gyeongsang National University. The development support fund donation was made with the sponsorship of the Korea Rural-Urban Cooperation Movement Headquarters to promote college students' participation in rural labor assistance.

Gyeongnam Nonghyup signed a business agreement with Gyeongsang National University in May 2017 to activate rural social contribution, and has been continuing various activities such as rural labor assistance and rural cleanup activities to date.

Gyeongsang National University, considering the academic schedule during the harvest season of garlic, onions, and other crops facing severe labor shortages, conducted rural labor assistance on weekends in 21 sessions with 954 participants in 2024, supporting farms struggling with manpower shortages.

President Kwon Jin-hoe said, “We are grateful to Nonghyup and the farms for providing opportunities for our university students to practice sharing and contribute to the local community. We plan to further expand and support related programs so that the university and local community can develop together.”

Head Ryu Gil-nyeon stated, “With the institutional support of Gyeongsang National University and the active participation of enrolled students in rural labor assistance, we have helped alleviate the rural labor shortage. Gyeongnam Nonghyup will continue to actively support college students' rural labor assistance activities in the future.”
