Primemewspost.com – A national seminar held to mark the first anniversary of the Executive Board of the Alumni Association of the Archipelago Student Executive Boards (PB IKA BEM Nusantara) served as a strategic moment to bolster the role of the younger generation in national development—specifically by enhancing the quality of human resources and supporting the agricultural sector.
Hosted at the DPP KNPI building in Kuningan, South Jakarta, the seminar addressed the optimization of the demographic dividend, the readiness of youth to face global job market competition, and the strengthening of national commitment toward a “Golden Indonesia 2045” (Indonesia Emas 2045).
The focus on the agricultural sector is significant, as food security, the regeneration of the farming workforce, and the adoption of technological innovations are vital components of Indonesia’s development. Collaboration between the younger generation, youth organizations, and the Ministry of Agriculture is expected to create broader opportunities for contributing to the advancement of modern agriculture, enhancing the capacity of farmers, and strengthening national food self-sufficiency.
The event’s organizing chair, Wahyu Irawan, described the seminar as a platform for exchanging ideas and a catalyst for deepening collaboration. Through this forum, young people are encouraged to move beyond being mere spectators of development; instead, they are urged to provide solutions, foster innovation, and take an active, tangible role in addressing the nation’s challenges.
The seminar underscored that the demographic dividend must be accompanied by improved competencies, expanded opportunities, and character building. Through effective synergy, the younger generation can become a productive force in supporting agricultural development and achieving food security, paving the way toward a “Golden Indonesia 2045.”
