Jakarta – Chairman of the Nation Cadre Association Dimas Oky Nugroho emphasized that the government must have a strategic vision to overcome youth issues. The government is also asked to promote sports holistic, innovative and aimed at strengthening nationalism and national progress. It was said to respond to the election of the Indonesian Minister of Youth and Sport (Menpora). According to Dimas, this moment has become crucial in the midst of the complexity of the challenges of national youth and sports development. He also emphasized the urgency of youth development as a priority agenda of the government. “The promotion and guidance of youth issues is a very important agenda that the government must perform these days and in the future,” Dimas said in his statement on Sunday (9/14/2025).

However, major challenges arise in three most important aspects: strengthening character, citizenship participation and enterprise aspects. Strengthening characters in the digital era underlines the challenges of building youth character amid the digitalization and the new media era. To deal with this situation, he encouraged the government to design innovative priority programs to establish character education, character, love for motherland and patriotism. “This era encourages the culture of materialism, individualism, as well as communism so raised,” Dimas said. According to Dimas, this innovative priority program must be based on the values of national spirituality, agility, social care and republican ethics. “The government must ensure the presence of programs that target youth at different levels to build a strong character from Aceh to Papua,” Dimas said. Citizenship participation and social responsibility The second challenge that Dimas highlighted is strengthening the participation of citizenship in the context of a plural, democratic and based on the rule of law. “Indonesian young people must be confident, healthy, physically, good knowledge, integrity, able to express their thoughts and talents optimally,” Dimas said. Dimas argued that youth should be involved and responsible for the development of a healthy, inclusive and productive society, in accordance with the noble purpose of the nation and the state. Dimas encouraged the strengthening of citizenship education (civil education), leadership and conflict resolution to achieve this. “The government must ensure civil education and democratic political education and social orderly awareness in young people,” Dimas said. Although, Dimas also emphasized the importance of consistency of reforms in the government body, so that there is no gap or contradiction that has the potential to cause social dissatisfaction (social grievance) or even resistance leading to anarchism. “The state must be able to build a bridge of communication with young people, especially the leaders and drivers of youth and students, both Bem (Student Executive Council), youth organizations, social culture, creative communities that include them to realize them in the realization of social harmony, participation in citizenship and socio-political development. Entrepreneurship and social welfare of the economic side, Dimas emphasized the importance of strengthening entrepreneurship and socio-economic youth to meet the challenges of development. “It takes young people who are independent, alert and productive to find solutions to encourage fair and fair social well-being, both at the community and national level,” the former Bem president of Airlangga University in 1998 said. Dimas emphasizes the need for an entrepreneurial program that has targeted since the middle level, universities, to the post-businesses, to achieve works and to achieve innovation in different development sectors. Sports innovation for the championship nation in the field of sports, Dimas asked for a breakthrough and consistency to promote the coaching of athletes from an early age and sports industry professionally and prospective. “These should be encouraged, so that aspects of sports industry and athlete development become more advanced and prospective as championship countries,” Dimas said. Dimas emphasizes the importance of coaching athletes since the level of students by prioritizing excellent sports to achieve achievements at the world level, without ignoring the potential of other sports. According to Dimas, sports development is not only important for the development of national character and strategy, but also as a driving force for the national industry and the economy. “Indonesia is a large country with enormous potential and resources. That means the prospect of sports development is very relevant, strategic and wide open, according to our national goals,” Dimas said. Dimas emphasized that the Menpora candidate must be able to integrate the development of youth and sports holistically. With an innovative and strategic approach, the Menpora is expected to be able to bring Indonesia into the global arena, both in youth development and sports achievements. “Candidates for the Menpora must have a strong vision to answer the challenges of this complex, both to promote young people who are characterized, productive and responsible, as well as promoting sports as a national development tool,” Dimas said. The leadership of the Menpora in the future, according to Dimas, will determine the direction of the development of the younger generation and national sports. With the great potential of Indonesia, the Menpora candidate must be able to optimize resources to realize the vision of Indonesia as a strong, productive and excellent country.
