In commemoration of the 117th National Awakening Day which falls on May 20, 2025, BPS Kabupaten Batang held a solemn flag ceremony. With the theme “Towards an Unpretentious, Impartial and Sustainable National Awakening”, the ceremony was a moment of reflection on the long history of the nation's struggle and an invitation to continue to ignite the fire of awakening amidst the challenges of the times.
The Head of BPS Batang Regency, Heni Djumadi, who acted as the master of ceremonies delivered a mandate that emphasized that revival does not belong to the past, but rather a continuous effort that lives in real work, alignment with the people, and courage to face the complexities of the modern world. Djumadi underlined the spirit of the current government: policies based on the real needs of the people, such as the Free Nutritious Meal Program, free health services, strengthening the national economy through the Danantara Investment Agency, to vocational training and digital talent development. All of these are part of the eight big missions of Asta Cita that serve as a compass for national awakening.
At the end of the mandate, Djumadi invited all employees to maintain the spirit of awakening with firmness like the roots of a tree that penetrates the ground, which is slow, sturdy, and sustains life. Happy National Awakening Day. Let's work together to realize a more just, independent and prosperous Indonesia with our respective roles.
