BTN Supports Children's Education Through Danantara Programme
PT Bank Tabungan Negara (Persero) Tbk (BTN) has strengthened its commitment to supporting the education of Indonesian children through the “Danantara for Golden Generation” programme. This programme forms part of BTN’s participation in marking one year of Danantara Indonesia’s operations, commemorated through a reflection meeting held at Wisma Danantara, Jakarta, on Tuesday, 11 March 2026.
The event was attended by President of the Republic of Indonesia Prabowo Subianto, Cabinet ministers, and leaders and members of Danantara Indonesia. In his remarks, the President emphasised the importance of maintaining integrity, discipline in governance, and a long-term orientation in managing state assets to strengthen the foundation of national economic development.
President Prabowo affirmed that Danantara Indonesia was established to ensure professional management of state assets whilst providing added value to national development and public welfare. He described the establishment of the institution as a strategic step that enables Indonesia to have a state investment manager equivalent to sovereign wealth funds at the global level.
“Within this first year, it has become evident that with sound management, disciplined governance, and strong commitment, the performance of state asset management can increase significantly. However, this achievement is merely the beginning; going forward, we must continue to strengthen governance so that state asset management truly delivers maximum benefits for the Indonesian people,” stated the President.
The one-year celebration of Danantara Indonesia’s journey carries the theme “One Danantara”, reflecting the spirit of synergy among all state-owned enterprises (SOEs) to work together in strengthening the foundation of the national economy and creating broad impact for future generations.
Danantara Indonesia CEO Rosan Roeslani stated that the institution’s first year of operations focused on building strong institutional foundations and governance. According to him, state investment management must be able to deliver tangible benefits to the community whilst supporting the development of future generations.
This commitment was also reflected through the symbolic handover of 88,000 school supply packages for children across various regions in Indonesia. The programme was implemented simultaneously by SOEs as a form of support for improving access to education and preparing Indonesia’s Golden Generation.
In this initiative, BTN played an active role through the “Danantara for Golden Generation” programme. BTN President Director Nixon L.P. Napitupulu stated that synergy among SOEs within the Danantara ecosystem is an important strength for delivering tangible benefits to the community whilst strengthening the foundation of national development.
“Through the Danantara for Golden Generation programme, we wish to ensure that development not only generates economic growth but also strengthens the foundation of the nation’s future. Support for Indonesian children’s education is a long-term investment in preparing a stronger and more competitive generation,” said Nixon.
As part of the programme, BTN channelled 5,500 school supply packages to primary school (SD), junior secondary school (SMP), and special needs school (SLB) students. The assistance was distributed to students in Palu City, Central Sulawesi Province, as well as in Batam City and Tanjung Pinang City, Riau Islands Province.
The distribution of this assistance forms part of a national movement to distribute 88,000 school supply packages, initiated by Danantara Indonesia together with SOEs, to expand educational access for children across various regions of Indonesia.
Through this one-year milestone, Danantara Indonesia has reaffirmed its commitment to continue strengthening governance, improving the quality of state asset management, and encouraging strategic investments that deliver long-term economic and social impact for Indonesia.
“This first year is a phase of building foundations. Going forward, our focus is to ensure that these foundations are translated into tangible performance through strong governance, professional state asset management, and strategic investments that benefit the national economy and the future of Indonesia’s generation,” concluded Rosan.
