As stated in Presidential Decree Number 106 of 2021, the Nusantara Student Dormitory (AMN) is a place to unite students from various ethnic groups, languages, cultures and religions who come from various regions in Indonesia and from various universities.
Later the AMN building will be granted and managed by the State Intelligence Agency (BIN) together with the Ministry of Education and Culture and Research and Technology. Coaching activities will also be carried out by various stakeholders who carry out government affairs in the field of education together with BIN.
“Apart from being a residence for scholarship recipient students, AMN Surabaya also functions for coaching activities whose implementation is supported by the State Intelligence Agency (BIN),” said Director General Cipta Karya Diana Kusumastuti.
The guidance of students living in AMN is carried out by BIN through activities aimed at increasing competency and understanding of nationalism, citizenship, Pancasila student character, state defense, entrepreneurship, leadership, and pioneering.
