Not Only Sharing, UBSI Jatiwaringin Campus Instills Social Character Through Ramadan Nasi Boxes
UBSI campus Jatiwaringin has run the Berbagi Nasi Box programme as a form of strengthening students’ social character in the digital era. The activity took place on campus at Jl Raya Jatiwaringin No.18, Jaticempaka, Pondok Gede, Bekasi, from 23 February to 13 March 2026. The nasi box distribution was conducted Monday to Friday during Ramadan, initiated by Yayasan Bina Sarana Informatika, as a strategic effort to nurture empathy and social care amid rapid technological transformation. Ahmad Fauzi, Head of UBSI Jatiwaringin Campus, explained that sharing nasi boxes is not merely a social act of giving food to the surrounding community but part of character education for the academic community. He stated that the success of higher education should be measured not only by digital competence but also by the extent to which they benefit their environment. He said UBSI Jatiwaringin is committed to delivering high-quality activities as a Kampus Akreditasi Unggul (Excellent Accreditation Campus). UBSI wants to prove that the first Digital Creative campus in Indonesia continues to prioritise inclusive religious values. ‘Quality education must be in harmony with real actions that benefit the environment so that the blessings of knowledge can be felt by all parties,’ Ahmad stressed in a statement in Jakarta on Saturday 7 March 2026. He added that the Ramadan discipline during the month trains the younger generation’s mental discipline. In the face of the digital era’s challenges that often encourage individualism, on‑campus real actions serve as an important reminder of the need to balance professional careers with social care. Tough character and high empathy, he continued, will be highly valued by the future industry. ‘Through this programme, each nasi box distributed is hoped to become a symbol of warmth between academics and the surrounding middle-income community.’ Fauzi also encouraged students to continue innovating in technology without forgetting social roots and civic responsibility. ‘The Ramadan atmosphere on campus can foster a new spirit for students to achieve, while also contributing tangibly to the nation’s development.’ As a campus with Excellent Accreditation, UBSI Jatiwaringin reaffirms its commitment to blending technological innovation with humanitarian values. Through ongoing social initiatives such as Berbagi Nasi Box at UBSI Jatiwaringin, the institution strengthens its role in producing graduates who are not only digitally adept but also outstanding in character and social concern.
