LUMAJANG - Siti Atikoh, who is the wife of the presidential candidate Ganjar Pranowo, talked about the Santripreneur owned by candidate pair number three. This is one of many programs that prioritize students and pesantren.

This was conveyed by Atikoh while staying in touch at the Gubug Al Munir Islamic Boarding School, Lumajang, East Java, Thursday, January 25.

For information, Atikoh, who is the grandson of Kiai Haji Hisyam A. Karim, the founder of the PP Riyadus Islamic Boarding School, Sholikhin Kalijaran, often pays attention to the pesantren community. He always echoed the Ganjar-Mahfud MD program which is in line with the needs of the students and kiai.

"Regarding the messaging programs, there are a lot of them. One of them is the santri entrepreneurship or Santripreneur," said Atikoh in front of the boarding school administrators to the residents present.

Atikoh said that students will later receive education to open their own businesses. "So hopefully later, apart from being educated in religious science, they will also know how to become entrepreneurs," he said.

"Entrepreneurs who are students will be very good because the world and the hereafter must balance," he said.

Furthermore, Atikoh assessed that the program would also have a positive impact on the environment around the students. Because, of course, they will combine entrepreneurial knowledge with the religion they study.

"When we are economically independent, we will be able to benefit the community a lot," he said.

"So it can be for ourselves, improve our families, also improve the people around us," concluded Atikoh.
