Have assets of RP 20 billion, this town could be an example of transmigration development

Jakarta -Ponggok -Dorp in Klaten, Central -java, has successfully changed the status of poor towns to the richest town in Indonesia. This achievement stole the attention of the Minister of Transmigration, M. IFTITAH Sulaiman Suryanagara, because it was considered an example for the development of the transmigration area. “Now these are the things we say real and concrete, and we want to learn more in depth, so that we also have to spread in different transmigration areas. So that not only can create self -sufficiency but also real economic growth, with the help of cooperation with different parties,” Iftitah said in a written statement, Thursday (9/18/2025). During his visit, IFTITAH directly checked the economic activities of the community, one of which was the use of village land for fisheries that could produce up to 20 tons per day. This result has a major impact for residents, where the previous revenue of approximately 600,000 rp per month has now risen to more than RP 2 million per month. The assets of the townships (Bumdes) Ponggok also jumped from RP. 100 million to RP. 20 billion.

According to him, it has been shown that social media promotion can attract the interest of the wider community. “Some I met earlier said that it was not only of conventional news, but of viral on social media, such as Instagram or Tiktok and others,” he added. He also referred to the importance of cross -sector cooperation in the development of transmigration areas. According to him, the practice of both Ponggok village collaboration between government, the community and the use of technology show major consequences. The potential of other regions in Indonesia is also very large, especially in the eastern region. However, the development of the transmigration area must be carried out with concrete action, including strengthening access to transport and infrastructure. “We are an archipelago. If transport, especially air, can be increasingly supportive, exotic areas in Indonesia will be more easily accessible and developed,” he concluded. (PRF/EGA)
