Smart village is a program initiated by Telkom Indonesia and the Ministry of Villages, Development of Disadvantaged Regions, and Transmigration in order to advance the potential of villages by building a digital village ecosystem through optimization of network infrastructure and ICT solutions. This program was first launched on October 1st 2020, announcing Kemuning and Pangandaran Villages to be the pilot villages. This event was inaugurated by Vice Minister of Villages, Development of Disadvantaged Regions, and Transmigrations Budi Arie Setiadi, Chief of Staff of Presidency Dr. H. Moeldoko, and Governor of Central Java Ganjar Pranowo.

This program is targeted to advance villages with different potential, focusing on the government, economic, and social. It is highly appreciated by Budi Arie Setiadi, “villages are the future of Indonesia. There are three main sectors of Indonesia that cannot be excelled by other countries, they are agriculture, fishery, and tourism. Villages with those three excellences must be strengthened and improved. We hope that Kemuning Village would be a model for other villages in Indonesia.” Said Budi Arie Setiadi. Similar things are also declared by Ganjar Pranowo. He added that he hopes that through Telkom, citizen entrepreneurship would be encouraged.
