JAKARTA - Volunteers supporting Ganjar Pranowo as a presidential candidate for the 2024-2029 period socialized the program to increase human resources or HR that was initiated by the number 1 person in Central Java.

Coordinator of the Collaborative Warteg (Kowarteg) Indonesia Noehrozi said Ganjar initiated a number of programs that favored the community while serving as Governor of Central Java.

"The free SMK boarding program initiated by Ganjar in Central Java specifically for children from underprivileged and orphaned families aims to produce superior and creative human resources," he said in a written statement, quoted from Antara, Sunday, October 24.

Noehrozi continued, the program not only helps pay for vocational school children's education, but Ganjar also facilitates students with dormitories, stationery, uniforms, food, and practice fees.

According to him, Ganjar is also a leader who is a solution to every problem of the people. One example is in the field of entrepreneurship by initiating credit, namely the Central Java Provincial Government's low-cost credit stimulus program with the Central Java Bank for market traders and women with a credit limit of IDR 25 million per year with two percent interest.

"We believe that these programs are proof of his very good understanding of the problems faced by the people. We hope that these free lapak and SMK credits can also be applied at the national level," said Noehrozi.

The socialization was carried out by the Indonesian Kowarteg with market traders and street vendors (PKL) at the Kalimati Market, Tanah Abang, Central Jakarta.

"This is our effort to socialize Mr. Ganjar as well as to gather aspirations from market traders, street vendors, and local residents. Moreover, his statement that he is ready to run for president makes us even more enthusiastic," he said.

Meanwhile, a basic food trader at Kalimati Market, Nuri (54), admitted that he knew Ganjar Pranowo from social media when he visited the residents to the market. Nuri hopes that Ganjar will bring change. "Can pay more attention to small people like us," he added.
