In the peak celebration of its 49th anniversary, Perum Jamkrindo demonstrated its commitment to increasing its focus on the education sector through the Jamkrindo Peduli Pendidikan program, which has been running since 2018. This commitment was manifested by the distribution of 49,000 educational aid packages and the provision of one-year scholarships for 10 Junior High School students.
The highlight of Perum Jamkrindo’s 49th-anniversary celebration took place at Ecovention Ancol on Saturday, July 13, 2019. Randi Anto, the President Director of Perum Jamkrindo, mentioned that in 2018, the company distributed 33,000 educational aid packages containing school supplies, textbooks, and general reading books, which earned a MURI (Indonesian World Record Museum) award.
"This year, we are doing the same thing but with a larger number of packages, totaling 49,000. All of these aids come from the contributions of the employees of Perum Jamkrindo. The Board of Directors, Supervisory Board, officials, and all employees made contributions," said Randi.
In addition to distributing school supplies and reading materials, Perum Jamkrindo also awarded one-year scholarships to 10 Junior High School students. The students were present at the event and symbolically received their scholarships during the peak of the anniversary celebration.
The event was attended by employees and their families, as well as 15 orphaned children who were invited to enjoy the festivities, which began with a walk, followed by entertainment, and the awarding of prizes for various competitions.
As part of the anniversary celebration, a series of social activities were held as a demonstration of the company’s care and its active presence in the community. Perum Jamkrindo initiated a free eye check-up and provided free glasses to 200 residents in Cirebon Regency, West Java. Additionally, during a friendly soccer match with BUMN partners at the Madya Stadium in the Gelora Bung Karno Complex, a donation of Rp 10 million was given to each of five former national football team players.
Earlier, several activities were held, such as donations for orphans through the Ramadhan Safari event in 10 cities. In Central Java, Perum Jamkrindo renovated three prayer rooms in Banyumas Regency. In Jakarta, donations were given to railway crossing gatekeepers and to improve facilities at public cemeteries.
"Through these social activities, we want to be involved and present in the community. While we continue to focus on business activities to support the company, we also want to be directly present in society and provide benefits to the economy," said Randi.
To mark the 49th anniversary of Perum Jamkrindo, various competitions were organized, including sports competitions and singing contests.
