Universitas Widya Gama Malang (UWG) is actively contributing to the preservation of local arts and culture through its community service initiatives. The university recently donated a complete gamelan set to the village of Tumpang, Malang, as part of its 2026 Village Development Program. This significant contribution was made possible through a grant from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology (Kemendiktisaintek).

The handover of the gamelan instruments signifies UWG's commitment to fostering cultural continuity. By providing these traditional musical instruments, the university seeks to strengthen the artistic and cultural identity of Tumpang village and encourage the continuation of traditional music practices. This initiative highlights the importance of collaboration between academic institutions and local communities in safeguarding cultural assets. UWG's efforts are expected to bolster the preservation of traditional arts and ensure that the rich cultural heritage of the region is passed down to future generations.
