Merdeka Book 2024 'Anagata Indonesia': Dissecting the Future and Hopes of the Indonesian Nation

Kapanlagi.com - Merdeka.com has a special 'ritual' every year, specifically on the Independence Day of the Republic of Indonesia, which is to publish the Merdeka Book. This has been consistently done since 2017. This year is no different; Merdeka.com released the Merdeka Book with the theme 'Anagata Indonesia,' which means 'The Future of Indonesia' in Sanskrit.

With over 200 pages, this book captures various development achievements over the last 10 years in various regions of Indonesia, from the central level to the regions. During this period, it depicts how massive development in the homeland has surged across various sectors, including education, economy, social aspects, and Human Resources (HR).

This surge in development is solely a consistent step towards realizing a Joint Movement towards an Advanced Indonesia. Therefore, the aspect of sustainability in development is an important matter that needs to be jointly monitored.

Sustainable development, by its principles, is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. In addition, the quality of human life in the present and future also needs to be maintained through sustainable development.

1. Transition for a New Era of the Indonesian Nation

The development of the Nusantara Capital City (IKN) is a gateway to a new era for the Indonesian nation. Therefore, the development of IKN is used as the foundational basis for the creation of this book.

"The merdeka.com team approached me with a concept for creating a book that captures the dynamic atmosphere of the relocation of the capital from Jakarta to IKN," said Steve Christian, CEO and Founder of KapanLagi Youniverse.

Furthermore, Steve added that the relocation of the capital is an opening gateway for new opportunities for Indonesia across various sectors, from the economy to defense. Therefore, this book serves as a record during the transitional government period that documents the achievements of the government in the last 10 years, combined with the vision for Indonesia's future development.

"Anagata Indonesia can certainly be completed and published with various assistance from external parties, including the Ministry of Public Works and Housing, the Ministry of Investment/BKPM, the Ministry of Manpower, the Ministry of Agriculture, BKKBN, Bank BRI, the East Kalimantan Provincial Government, the Trenggalek Regency Government, and various other parties," said Darojatun, Editor-in-Chief of Merdeka.com.

2. Available in Print and Digital Format

This book is available in both print and digital formats. The print version of this book will be distributed in two locations as gifts to invited guests attending the 79th Independence Day Ceremony, namely at the Merdeka Palace in Jakarta and at the Presidential Palace in IKN Nusantara, Darojatun added.

This book is given to ministers, ministry officials, and invited guests from friendly countries. The digital format of this book can be accessed via a QR Code on the website and social media accounts of merdeka.com. Don't miss it!
