The entire young generation received special empowerment from the State Intelligence Agency of the Republic of Indonesia (BIN RI) through the Aceh Youth Creative Hub (AYCH) or the Aneuk Muda Aceh Superior and Great Center Building (AMANAH).
Indeed, with the AMANAH program, it has become one of the strong efforts and commitment of the institution led by Police General (Ret.) Prof. Dr. Budi Gunawan aims to carry out empowerment specifically for the younger generation.
When the young generation receives the right education, they will actually grow and develop into individuals who are able to contribute positively and actively to the progress of the nation, because they have the competency from BIN’s special empowerment through AMANAH.
The training and empowerment takes the form of teaching and understanding business concepts and the downstreaming of patchouli derivative products to young people from the region nicknamed Rencong Country.
Pret Oil CEO, Daudy Sukma explained that the State Intelligence Agency (BIN) initiation program was a very concrete step to fully support the government. AMANAH’s role is very important because it is able to develop the young generation to have an entrepreneurial spirit.
Through coaching from BIN, the younger generation will become familiar with business concepts and product downstreaming by optimizing the use of technology. Therefore, the existence of this program is useful for increasing the business potential of superior local products.
Moreover, the existence of local products which are derivatives of Acehnese patchouli is the best raw material even at world level. Therefore, because the potential is very large, don’t let the potential for natural resources (SDA) be wasted if they don’t get good management.
Empowerment from BIN through the AMANAH program for all young people is also realized from various very positive activities, such as registration taking place from 24 June to 7 July 2024, namely the Stand UP Successor Candidate event. Meanwhile, on July 1, there was AMANAH Goes To Campus by bringing in competent speakers in their fields to develop the creative economy of the younger generation.
Furthermore, there is also Business Class Mentoring training, which is an educational activity related to the business field with competent mentors. The event took place on July 3 2024 at the MIPA Hall of Syiah Kuala University (USK) Banda Aceh City.
In the business class training, Acehnese young people will get the opportunity to further improve their business or scale up with excellent product branding. Apart from that, they will also receive education regarding how to create effective content and strategies, as well as how to apply product packaging to marketing.
The many special empowerment efforts for the younger generation that BIN provides will clearly be able to become a new economic movement in the area nicknamed the Veranda of Mecca.
Chairman of the Syiah Kuala University (USK) Business Development Agency, Syaifullah Muhammad, assessed that the State Intelligence Agency’s initiation program was clearly very helpful for the younger generation, including if they wanted to open a new start-up business or start-up business.
In fact, Acehnese are basically a business community, so the training events in the world of economics that AMANAH provides are clearly needed by the people to be able to develop their businesses.
For your information, to date the progress of the construction of the Aceh Excellent and Great Aneuk Muda Building Center continues to produce positive results, namely that it has reached up to 70 percent.
In fact, the teams have finished work on the construction and structure of the building. There are 9 areas that have been successfully established, namely the multi-functional building, the main building, the men’s and women’s dormitories, then the prayer room, the greenhouse building, the distillery, the ground water tank and the generator house.
The existence of AMANAH will clearly enable the young generation of Aceh to receive a lot of training to further increase their independence, including their competence and professionalism to become entrepreneurs at a young age.
The Acting Regent of Aceh Besar, Muhammad Iswanto, assessed that the special empowerment program that BIN provides to local young people is also related to how to manage and market products digitally, including utilizing technological developments in developing their businesses.
There are also various fields that will continue to receive increased development through AMANAH, such as creative, research and technology, entrepreneurship, creative industries, education, literacy, culture and language.
The State Intelligence Agency (BIN), through the AMANAH program, never knows the word tired and continues to demonstrate its very strong commitment to empowering the local young generation in particular.
