UNIPA News (Jakarta)-26 March: The Free Nutritious Meal Program (MBG) is the best program from Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto. This program is intended to help parents and students.
Students become more enthusiastic about studying, because they get a healthy and nutritious breakfast.
President Prabowo views the Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) program has a broad economic impact through job creation from the production kitchen to the food supply chain.
With the Free Nutritious Meal Program (MBG) will reduce the level of hunger (stunting) of remote villages Indonesia.
MBG at its peak will have 31,000 kitchens, each employing 50 workers. This means it has opened up employment opportunities for 1.5 million workers.
On March 22, 2026, President Prabowo said at the Communication Agency (Bakon) “I will survive as long as I can. Rather than letting my money be corrupted, it’s better for my people to be able to eat.”
The Indonesian people must experience economic and social equality in terms of consumption and distribution of free, nutritious food.
“We have the money. We just need to process and organize it, and we’ll reduce leakage,” said Mr. Prabowo Subianto.
Hopefully there will be no more Indonesian children who are malnourished and they will become agents of change for the nation who are religious, knowledgeable, and moral and cultured in the eyes of the world.
Although there is still criticism about the number of calories and nutritional adequacy, with the help of nutrition experts, everything can be resolved.
And the children are excited about going to school.
