Jakarta – Deputy Chairman of the Indonesian People’s Consultative Assembly Edhie Baskoro Yudhoyono (Ibas), made a working visit to the Kodim 0802 Ponorogo headquarters. This visit also became a place for friendship and dialogue between Ibas and the ranks of Kodim, Koramil and Babinsa, as well as other TNI elements in the Ponorogo region. In his remarks, Ibas emphasizes the pride and gratitude to the TNI soldiers, especially Danramil and Babinsa, whom he regarded as the spearhead to maintain the stability of the safety and social resilience of the people in the regions. According to Ibas, it is sometimes difficult to say appreciation. “I also feel that we are working as a TNI/Polri, it is already maximal, but the expectations of the community that is too high, so that the goodness, greatness and hard work so far are not enough to appreciate the community. For this reason, I as representatives of the people are their gratitude to the TNI, especially Danramis and Babinsa who are the rands of the Rands,” (4/6/2025). Browse to continue with the content. Ibas has asked all parties to ensure that the MBG program is true to reach the community. “It really feels like kindergarten, elementary, junior high school children or their level in Ponorogo Regency. We want them to have the same opportunity to get good nutrition,” Ibas said. “Surely they will play a role in the build -up of the country later. We want our TNI that has a high discipline to be the fastest to ensure the guards directly or indirectly that all the programs reach the community,” he continued. Not only what MBG questioned, Ibas also appreciated the Kodim 0802 Ponorogo steps that used unproductive land in food security. Plants such as chili, tomatoes and spinach grown around the codim environment are considered a practical solution to support the food dependence of the families of soldiers and the surrounding community. “It is a tangible form of how the role of the TNI is not only present in defense, but also in welfare. I appreciate the Kodim 0802 effort to develop food security,” Ibas added. “This is in line with President Prabowo’s vision in building national food dependence. We must begin from the nearest environment, from the household of the soldiers, from the district we love,” he continued. On that occasion, Ibas also called on the importance of preserving the spirit of mutual cooperation, unity and strengthening the values of Pancasila as the ideology of the country’s life. IBAs have reminded that people remain aware of the potential for division due to ideological conflicts and economic inequality. “We don’t want Ponorogo to be divided by differences in views. We want everything to unite in mutual cooperation to maintain the spirit of building a more friendly life,” Ibas said. During the visit, Ibas also took time to directly observe the first MBG kitchen in Ponorogo Regency, which stands on the country owned by Kodim 0802. Accompanied by the regent of Sugiri Sandoko and Dandim 0802 Lieutenant -Colonel Inf Dwi Surjono, IBAs emphasized different technical and social aspects of the kitchen operations. Ibas has investigated the scope of services currently reaching 2,694 students from 16 schools, ranging from Paud to junior high school levels, ensuring that the quality of food used comes from them from local Msme measuring nutritional standards and quality. Not only that, IBAs also paid particular attention to the role of volunteers in kitchen management. Ibas appreciates the contribution of locals who have become active volunteers, and the assessment of the existence of this kitchen not only supported the fulfillment of the nutrition of the younger generation, but also became an instrument of local economic empowerment. Ibas also encouraged that the scope of the MBG program could be expanded in the future to reach vulnerable groups such as pregnant women, breastfeeding and toddlers, while strengthening the synergy between TNI, regional governments and civil society. As a national representative, Ibas also emphasized that he would oversee various development programs, ranging from education, agriculture to basic infrastructure. Ibas also opened room for extensive TNI families to express their pursuit, especially related to access to education for their children. “If there are problems associated with education for TNI children, you must convey it to us. We are ready to fight for them to continue to get proper education security,” Ibas said. Ibas’s visit to Kodim 0802 Ponorogo received an appreciation from Dandim 0802 Ponorogo Lt. Col.
