Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo leads the Pancasila Birthday Commemoration Ceremony, in Pancasila Square, Cepogo District, Boyolali Regency, Thursday, June 1. At the anniversary of Pancasila which is celebrated every June 1, Ganjar invites the village head (kades) to explore the history of his village.

"To all the village heads who are present, let's explore the history of the village so that it becomes the entrance to prosperity for all. Involve the elders and youth. Invite universities, ask for help from districts or provinces," said Ganjar in his remarks.

According to Ganjar Pranowo, this should be done with mutual cooperation, because that is the spirit of life of the Indonesian state. Currently, tourist villages are also starting to explore their respective histories. Because from there a narrative will appear that strengthens the mentality as well as the optimism of the citizens.

After the narrative and optimism of the residents are built, said Ganjar, all will move optimally to achieve prosperity. "So the villagers no longer need to migrate to make a living because in their hometowns, their sustenance is already abundant," he said.

Including the Pancasila Birthday Commemoration Ceremony which was held in the Pancasila Square in Cepogo, that day. The ceremony, which was held in the Pancasila Square, can serve as a reminder to the entire community about the basis of the Indonesian state.

Gotong royong which contains a unity attitude is an example of a form of life that has noble values of the third precept of Pancasila which leads to unity

"Yes, we have a strong basis called Pancasila and we will work together to solve the existing problems so that they feel light," added Ganjar.

The Pancasila Square is equipped with a magnificent Garuda statue measuring about 10 x 11 meters. The statue made of copper and yellow is facing the head of Mount Merapi. In addition to the Garuda statue, a sturdy wall was built, equipped with the accent of the first and fifth sila symbol. On the left, there is an accent with the first to fifth precepts.

Boyolali Regent M Said Hidayat said that his party had carried out the governor's mandate, namely exploring the potential of each village in order to achieve the prosperity of its citizens.

"We are building the Pancasila Square. The governor's mandate for village heads is to explore our potential. In addition to the construction of the Pancasila Square, we also ask the governor to carve the signature of the inscription as the inauguration," Said said in his remarks.

The village head of Cepogo Mawardi admitted that his village government had made an invitation from the governor to explore the history of the village. In fact, the history of his village has been included in the book Boyolali Kaya Cerita, which is a local district government program.

"This Cepogo Village in the book Boyolali Has a Story, we contribute the history of metal crafts. We put it in the form of an initial story of making metal crafts during the Mataram Kingdom," said Mawardi at his village stall at the event location.

According to him, the history of his village metal crafts has existed since the Mataram Kingdom. However, at that time metal in his village was only used for household appliances. Then, now it has been developed into various forms of handicrafts

"This has been stated in the book to continue to track past stories because this is the Mataram era, namely the Implementation. It continues until now," explained Ganjar Pranowo at the commemoration of the Birthday of Pancasila.
