Looking into the development of the village, most of the people in Cireundeu has adapted the modern
way of life.

extinction of the tradition.

Saturday, indigenous people also commonly
held Surasa. It is an assembly for sharing
their experience. Usually, the Surasa
was held in the afternoon.

interesting, not only because of the ways in processing cassava into ‘rice’, but also the tradition to preserve its own
cassava plantation as the manifestation of food security.
