Working Visit and Hearing Meeting of BaKorNas PERMIKOMNAS RI with PERMIKOMNAS Northeast West Java

Rian Maulana, representing the National Coordinating Body (BaKorNas) of PERMIKOMNAS RI, opened the Hearing Meeting communication forum at Muhammadiyah University of Cirebon. This meeting was also an opportunity for him to disseminate information regarding the 9th National Congress (MUNAS) of PERMIKOMNAS RI, as well as to listen to aspirations and various issues emerging among students and the public.

One notable aspiration voiced by Permikomnas Northeast West Java highlighted the budget allocation for the MBG (Free Nutritious Meal) website and the digitalization of the Merah Putih Village Cooperatives. The total IT and system budget for MBG reached approximately IDR 1.2 trillion for the national nutritional fulfillment information system infrastructure. The sheer scale of this digital budget has sparked discussions among Northeast Permikomnas IT students, raising questions regarding the transparency and reasonableness of the expenditure details relative to the actual technological scale. Meanwhile, the Merah Putih Village Cooperatives (Kopdes) have now entered an active digitalization phase. Based on integrated government data, the majority of Kopdes across Indonesia are beginning to connect digitally, partly through the implementation of the Merah Putih Village/Sub-district Cooperative Management Information System (Simkopdes). To date, this digital transformation process continues to be accelerated by the Ministry of Cooperatives alongside the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs.

PERMIKOMNAS will continually stand at the forefront in overseeing and monitoring both central and regional government policies, particularly in the field of information technology. This reflects the dedication and concern of IT students in safeguarding the rights and interests of the Indonesian public.

Through this visit and Hearing Meeting, PERMIKOMNAS RI and PERMIKOMNAS Northeast West Java are expected to strengthen synergy and foster sustainable communication. Inter-organizational collaboration within PERMIKOMNAS plays a vital role in encouraging the emergence of ideas, programs, and student movements that provide meaningful benefits to education, technology, and society as a whole.

This event also reaffirmed PERMIKOMNAS's commitment to continuously serve as a platform for communication and collaboration among informatics and computing students across various regions, while encouraging students not merely to be technology consumers, but to actively contribute to creating innovations and solutions for diverse challenges in the digital era.
