During his service, he received the 25-Year Loyalty Award from UGM in 1992, as a form of appreciation for his outstanding dedication and contribution.

The departure of Prof. Dr. Kodiran left a deep sorrow for the Faculty of Cultural Sciences UGM, especially the Anthropology Study Program, which greatly lost a diligent scientist and a persistent educator. May the deceased get the best place by His side and the entire family left behind be given strength and fortitude.
