President Prabowo Subianto highlighted important breakthroughs in various sectors made by the administration of the Red and White Cabinet. The President mentioned these breakthroughs in his opening remarks during a  Plenary Cabinet Meeting on Monday (10/20), at the State Palace, Jakarta.

During that meeting, President Pabowo expressed his appreciation to all ranks of ministries/institutions for successfully realizing the National Single Social and Economic Data (DTSEN). Through DTSEN, the Government ensures that all social assistance programs are right on target and overlapping recipient data can be avoided.

“I believe this is the strategic value of DTSEN. We are also continuing to work hard to digitize and utilize technology to run a more efficient government,” said the President

The President also reported significant achievements of Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) program that has reached more than 36.7 million beneficiaries in less than a year. Through the MBG program, the Government has built 12,508 Nutritional Fulfillment Service Units (SPPG) out of a national target of 32,000 units.

“Thanks God, in one year we have reached 36 million. Indeed, Head of the National Nutrition Agency (BGN) has been working hard to reach 40 million by today. But I told him not to force it, ojo ngoyo, what matters is proper implementation,” said the President.

The President acknowledged that the implementation of a large-scale program like MBG certainly comes with challenges. Therefore, the Head of State emphasized the importance of a strict oversight and improvement of hygiene standard in the implementation of MBG program.

“I have emphasized to Head of the BGN and his ranks to establish a strict standard operating procedure, using the best equipment to ensure that shortcomings or deviance do not occur,” the President continued.

In addition to MBG program, the Government has also recorded a success in implementing the Free Health Check-up (CKG) program, which for the first time has been carried out on a national scale. As of October 2025, according to the President, a total of 43 million citizens has taken benefit of the program to get a free health check-up once a year, right on their birthday.

“Every citizen has the right to a free health check-up once a year on their birthday. And this enables us to prevent illnesses, so that later the cost of treatment will be lower if we know the health issues of our people from an early stage,” concluded the President.
