Jakarta (ANTARA) - President Prabowo Subianto reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to improving the welfare of farmers, farmworkers, and fishers as soon as possible.

“That is my determination, that is our plan, and we will realize it in the near future,” Prabowo said during the inauguration of the Sekolah Rakyat Nagan Raya Campus in Nagan Raya District, Aceh, on Wednesday.

In his speech, Prabowo described farmers, farmworkers, and fishers as the nation’s primary food producers. He said the government was determined to improve their welfare so they could enjoy a better standard of living.

He stressed that improving their quality of life was not merely a long-term objective but an urgent priority.

Prabowo also outlined several government initiatives to increase productivity and incomes, including accelerating irrigation repairs, providing high-quality seeds, and adopting modern agricultural technology. The government is also providing affordable fertilizers, pesticides, and other essential supplies to support agricultural activities.

During the event, Prabowo called on Indonesians to maintain national unity, describing it as a key source of strength in overcoming various challenges, including corrupt practices that harm the public and the state.

“A united Indonesian people make a strong Indonesian nation. We will not back down in the face of corruption. God willing, Indonesia will rise,” Prabowo said.

Following his speech, Prabowo signed a plaque to officially inaugurate the Sekolah Rakyat Nagan Raya Campus.

Part of the Sekolah Rakyat network, a free education program launched under the Prabowo administration, the campus provides elementary, junior high, and senior high school education.

The complex comprises three school buildings, a multipurpose hall, student dormitories, teacher apartments, a cafeteria, and a communal kitchen.

Each school building is equipped with computer, chemistry, and physics laboratories, as well as a library to support learning activities. The complex also has a mosque for students and teachers.
