Bima Arya Praises IPDN Cadets' Contribution to Aceh Tamiang Recovery

Bima expressed appreciation for the hard work of IPDN cadets who have made real contributions to the recovery efforts in Aceh Tamiang. In the first wave, the IPDN cadets were focused on restoring government offices. Meanwhile, the second and third waves were directed towards restoring settlements and public facilities. According to Bima, in addition to carrying out this noble task, the IPDN cadets are indirectly training to become capable leaders in the future. “The land of Aceh Tamiang has become a crucible for future Indonesian bureaucratic leaders, namely all of you,” Bima stated in a written statement on Thursday (30/4/2026). During their assignment in Aceh Tamiang, the IPDN cadets were tested not only physically but also mentally. This is what they will face when carrying out their mandate as bureaucrats in government. He explained that various such issues will often be encountered in the realities of life. Therefore, he advised the cadets to be able to overcome various problems in society. “This one month is a simulation. This one month is a trial that is not even a fraction of what you will face in the future,” Bima remarked. Furthermore, he emphasised that during their duties in Aceh Tamiang, the IPDN cadets are also increasingly trained to strengthen cooperation. This foundation is believed to be very useful in the world of government. On the other hand, there is another major challenge, namely uniting the vision from the diverse backgrounds of the cadets. As a leader, one must be accustomed to differences, both in terms of culture, ethnicity, religion, and beliefs. For those who can adapt to differences, Bima believes such individuals will become outstanding leaders in the future. “I am proud, I stand here with the Regent, with the Vice Rector, releasing you with full pride and looking at the results of your sweat and hard work which are very real and very beneficial to the people of Aceh Tamiang,” he said. On that occasion, Bima also conveyed thanks to the Aceh Tamiang District Government apparatus who have supported the performance of the IPDN cadets. He also expressed apologies if during the implementation of duties there were any unpleasant matters. “We pray that all the people of Aceh Tamiang will live normally and, God willing, even much better,” he concluded. For additional information, the event was also attended by Regent of Aceh Tamiang Armia Pahmi, high-ranking officials in the Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri) and IPDN, as well as other related parties.
