Pancasila at Work in Bumi Dipasena

Bumi Dipasena in East Rawajitu district of Tulang Bawang regency, Lampung, can serve as a reference point for the seed of Pancasila values falling on fertile ground.

The region had been turbulent since the opening of a 16,250-hectare shrimp farm in a nucleus estate and smallholder farming scheme (tambak inti rakyat or TIR) in 1988. Nowadays, however, locals are welcoming their future with hope and enthusiasm. Deep wounds from the protracted conflict are slowly healing.
