Deputy Minister of Communication and Digital Affairs (Wamenkomdigi) Angga Raka Prabowo is promoting children's nutritional needs during the 41st National Children's Day (HAN) 2025 commemoration in Jakarta. Wamenkomdigi Angga participated in the HAN 2025 commemoration event at Car Free Day (CFD) in Jakarta on Sunday (July 20th), organized by the Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection (PPPA), by distributing packaged milk to the children in attendance. The moment was captured in an Instagram Story post by the account @arp_idn89, which shows Wamenkomdigi Angga interacting with the children at the event. This effort is an effort to encourage nutritional needs in the form of milk protein, which aligns with President Prabowo's flagship program, Free Nutritious Meals. This effort is also expected to be a solution to quickly resolve the problems of stunting and malnutrition, strengthen brain intelligence, and improve the academic achievement of the younger generation. The 2025 National Children's Day (HAN) commemoration in Jakarta was also attended by the wife of Vice President Selvi Gibran Rakabuming, Minister of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection Arifah Fauzi, Minister of Religious Affairs Nasaruddin Umar, Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture Pratikno, and Minister of Primary and Secondary Education Abdul Mu'ti. Furthermore, the Chairman of the Seruni Merah Putih Cabinet, Tri Tito Karnavian, and Deputy Ministers from various ministries were also present. The event included a fun walk, group exercise, arts performances, and traditional games competitions with ministerial staff. The commemoration of National Children's Day (HAN), which falls on July 23rd, is an important opportunity to campaign for the fulfillment of children's rights to life, growth, development, and participation in accordance with human dignity, and to be protected from violence and discrimination. The 41st HAN commemoration in 2025 adopted the theme "Great Children, Strong Indonesia, Towards a Golden Indonesia 2045." This theme aims to remind various parties of the importance of child protection in creating superior and competitive human resources. The 2025 HAN commemoration will be held in Indragiri Hulu, Riau Province on July 23, 2025. However, all regions in Indonesia also hold National Children's Day celebrations in their respective schools.
