Students certainly have to play a role in increasing the economic growth of the Indonesian nation through their ideas and aspirations. This is necessary considering that government policies need evaluation so that the established programs can be felt by the community in the regions. One of them is the existence of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (UMKM) which need government assistance in running their business. The case was discussed at the event, the National Management Symposium Indonesia, on Wednesday (9/11).

Chairman of STIE Perbanas Surabaya, Dr. Lutfi, SE., M.Fin, said that the condition of economic growth is not very good because it is still around 5%. However, we need awareness to increase economic growth to reach 6%. "On this good opportunity, let us contribute to providing various input on policy solutions for the government so that in the future the quality of our students will be even better," he said in his speech.
