Yuhara Sukra (born 6 July 1933) is an Indonesian veterinarian and a professor of embriology at the Bogor Institute of Agriculture.
He then taught arithmetic and history at the Taman Dewasa High School in Sukabumi and attended a Dutch language course for a year.
He entered civil service after receiving his doctorandus in 1959 and began teaching veterinary medicine at the University of Indonesia in 1960.
Yuhara departed to the United States in June 1963 and began his master's studies in September after taking a two-month English language course in the university.
As the last foreign student to be advised by Braurer, Brauer's widow insisted on Yuhara to take some of his personal belongings home.
[12] During his master studies, Yuhara became an unpaid instructor for medical technology and premedical students in the University of Kentucky.
[13] Yuhara received his master's degree in April 1965[1] with his thesis titled The Development of Chick Spleen Embryos as Studied on Chorio-Allantoic Graft.
His thesis, titled Effect of selenium and mercury on gross morphology and histopathology of chick embryos, was defended at IPB, with senate chairman Andi Hakim Nasution as his main examiner.
[16] Around the same time as his appointment as the first deputy dean, Yuhara also led the embriology section in IPB's zoology department.
With the assistance of the Kentucky Contract Team, the section began obtaining the required biological specimens and tools to conduct experiments.
The team itself was formed to implement the plan of director general Makaminan Makagiansar to produce four hundred doctorates in Indonesia.
Yuhara's proposal for this plan involves foreign scholarships, short-term loans, and developing doctoral programs in Indonesia.
[23] During his six-year tenure in this position, Yuhara had to face the transition to a new long-term plan in higher education in 1986, as well as budget tightening via what was known as the "belt policy".
The directorate held lectures and seminars to disseminate the vision to universities and departments, as well as formulating an atlas on Wawasan Nusantara.
[23] Sukadji then became a member of the National Accreditation Body for Higher Education in December 1994 and served for two terms until August 2003.
