Central Luzon State University (CLSU), through the University Extension Program Office (UEPO), recently marked a significant stride in its commitment to rural development through a successful stakeholder engagement initiative for its Technology Village Development Program (TVDP) on June 2, 2025. This event, which included formalizing new partnerships, underscored CLSU's dedication to extending its technological advancements and expertise directly to communities. The UEPO also launched the Resource Exchange Hub designed to serve as a centralized repository of knowledge products. It also features a TVDP Exhibit that showcases sustainable technologies and community-driven initiatives. CLSU President Dr. Evaristo A. Abella, UEPO Director Dr. Aldrin E. Badua, the Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Training Institute (DA-ATI) Central Luzon Director Dr. Joey A. Belarmino, Rural Bank of San Leonardo Senior Vice President Mr. Marcelo, and other representatives from institutional partners led the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Resource Exchange Hub. In his opening message, President Abella emphasized the critical role of farmers saying “You are part of this program, not merely guests, we call you partners because you are our partners in realizing our goals in rural development.” This sentiment was reinforced by the ceremonial signing of the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with Agri Ville Skills Training and Assessment Center, DA-ATI Central Luzon, the National Empowerment and Development Exchange (NEDEx), and the New Rural Bank of San Leonardo (NRBSL). These formalized partnerships are poised to significantly advance the TVDP’s mission through shared resources and expertise. The successful stakeholder engagement reinforces the university's vital role as a catalyst for community development. By continually forging stronger ties with its partners, CLSU demonstrates its unwavering resolve to empower communities through innovation and knowledge transfer, paving the way for a more progressive and sustainable future.
