Bantul Regent Receives 2026 Koperasi Awards in Bakti Koperasi Nayaka Mahambara Category
Bantul Regent Abdul Halim Muslih has received the 2026 Koperasi Awards in the Bakti Koperasi Nayaka Mahambara category. The award ceremony was held at the St Regis Hotel in South Jakarta on Thursday (20/8/2026).
The 2026 Koperasi Awards was organised by detikcom together with the Indonesian Ministry of Cooperatives (Kemenkop). The Bakti Koperasi Nayaka Mahambara category is awarded as a form of appreciation for the contribution of state officials to the cooperative movement.
The award serves as recognition of tangible contributions in delivering policies and programmes that have an impact on the welfare and economic self-reliance of the community.
At the 2026 Koperasi Awards, five award categories were presented to individuals with different contributions to the cooperative movement, namely:
Bakti Koperasi Makarti Guna Swasembada
Bakti Koperasi Satya Bhakti Pamong Artha
Bakti Koperasi Nayaka Mahambara
Bakti Koperasi Pradana Nayaka
Anugerah Amerta Bakti
The event serves as a momentum to appreciate various figures who have taken an active role in the guidance, development, and strengthening of cooperatives as part of the people’s economy movement.
Speaking about cooperatives in Indonesia cannot be separated from the figure of Mohammad Hatta (Bung Hatta). The first Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia is known as the Father of Indonesian Cooperatives thanks to his ideas in positioning cooperatives as one of the foundations of the people’s economy.
For Bung Hatta, cooperatives are not merely business entities. Cooperatives also serve as a vehicle for building the economy based on the spirit of togetherness and mutual cooperation (gotong royong).
These ideas have since become an important part of the journey of the cooperative movement in Indonesia to this day. One example is the priority programme of President Prabowo Subianto, the Koperasi Desa/Kelurahan Merah Putih (KDKMP), or Red and White Village/Sub-district Cooperatives.
In addition to KDKMP, the 2026 Koperasi Awards also provides a spirit of cooperatives. The event offers a stage for those who contribute to developing cooperatives in various regions across Indonesia.
The 2026 Koperasi Awards was organised by the Ministry of Cooperatives of the Republic of Indonesia together with Detikcom, supported by PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia (Persero) Tbk, PT Pupuk Indonesia (Persero), PT Bank Mandiri (Persero) Tbk, PT Bank Negara Indonesia (Persero) Tbk, PT Pertamina (Persero), PT Bank Syariah Indonesia (Persero) Tbk, LPDB Koperasi, PT Pertamina Patra Niaga, ID FOOD, PT Jaminan Kredit Indonesia (Persero), PT Pegadaian (Persero), BPJS Ketenagakerjaan, and BPJS Kesehatan.
