Community empowerment is implemented through various programs which cover the strengthening of micro and small businesses or UMKs, raising access and quality of education, as well as developing social facilities and services.

Such approach is directed to enable the communities to have better capacity and chances to develop local potential, raise quality of life, and build economic independence.

For these efforts, MIND ID has received the Mandaya Award 2026 for the category of Enterprises/Companies implemented by the Coordinating Minister for Community Empowerment.

MIND ID, and all members of the Group, are considered as proactive in appreciating, encouraging, and accelerating community empowerment in line with Presidential Instruction Number 8 Year 2025 on the Optimalization of Proverty Alleviation and Elimination of Extreme Poverty.

MIND ID Vice President Director, Dany Amrul Ichdan, said that the management of the national mineral wealth is not only oriented towards raising the added value of natural resources, but also on the creation of benefits that can be widely enjoyed by the people.

“That is why, together with all members of the group, we continue to encourage public empowerment with the hopes that the regional public are able to move the economy independently, create opportunities and raise the value of benefits for their region,” Dany said.

He explained that the empowerment programs implemented by members of the MIND ID Group is aligned to the needs of the people, potential of the region, as well as local wisdom, including local customs and culture.

By optimalizing local potential and strengthening public capacity, the program is able to open opportunities for the people to develop independently in the long term.

“For MIND ID, the management and processing of minerals are not only creating economic value, but also presenting inclusive benefits through the involvement of people in the regions. We would like to have Indonesia’s natural resources participate in becoming the driver of economic advancements and building a life that is more prosperous and equitable throughout the country,” he emphasized.
