In the message, it was conveyed that the commemoration of Pancasila Birth Day is an important momentum to reaffirm the commitment of all elements of the nation to the noble values of Pancasila as the foundation of the state and the ideology of the nation.

" Pancasila is not just a historical document or normative text written in the preamble to the 1945 Constitution. It is the soul of the nation, a guideline for living together, and a guiding star in realizing the ideals of an independent, united, sovereign, just and prosperous Indonesia," said the Chancellor reading his message.

The mandate also emphasizes the importance of strengthening the Pancasila ideology amidst the increasingly complex currents of globalization and digitalization. In the context of national development, the government has set Asta Cita as eight priority agendas towards Indonesia Emas 2045, with one of the main focuses being strengthening the Pancasila ideology, democracy, and human rights.

" Economic progress without the foundation of Pancasila values can give birth to inequality. Technological progress without the moral guidance of Pancasila can lead the nation to dehumanization ," he continued.

The Chancellor also highlighted the importance of instilling Pancasila values in the world of education, public services, equitable economic development, and digital literacy. Schools and universities are expected to be at the forefront in producing a young generation that is not only intelligent, but also has character and integrity.

" Let us make this Pancasila Birth Day not just a ceremony, but a moment to strengthen our commitment to the noble values of the nation ," said the Chancellor in closing his message.

This commemoration ceremony is also an important reflection for all UPNVJ academics to continue to uphold the values of Pancasila in all aspects of academic and social activities. Through this commemoration, UPNVJ emphasizes its active role as a national defense campus that is committed to maintaining unity, nurturing diversity, and grounding Pancasila in the midst of national and state life.
