PATI (6 May 2021) - The Ministry of Social Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia through the Margo Laras Pati Center collaborates with the Pati Regency Population and Civil Registration Service (Dukcapil) in the context of recording population data for 11 family-based Beneficiaries of the target of Social Rehabilitation Assistance services program (ATENSI) from Margo Laras.

Considering the conditions of the beneficiaries, the recording was carried out using the ball pick-up method, where Dukcapil officers accompanied by Social Workers from Margo Laras along with local village officials visited the beneficiary's house one by one to record population data (E-KTP).

The officers visited the houses of 9 beneficiaries in Tanjunganom village, Gabus village, Plumbungan village, and Koripandriyo village, Gabus district. While 2 (two) Beneficiaries were recorded at the Gabus District office.

The head of Margo Laras, Jiwaningsih said that this activity was a form of ATENSI service in the form of accessibility support in obtaining civil rights for citizens, given that mental disabilities have the same rights as other Indonesian citizens for the civil right to be registered as citizens and have a registration number of population (NIK).

"By having an E-KTP, Persons with Mental Disabilities will be recorded in the Integrated Social Welfare Data (DTKS), so that they will get the opportunity to obtain facilities and various assistance from the state intended for them," said Jiwaningsih.

One of the beneficiary families, Mohadi from Gabus Village, expressed his gratitude for the direct service from the Center in the form of E-KTP recording.

The Village Secretary of Plumbungan, Nugroho welcomed this activity, because so far he found it difficult to bring persons with mental disorders to follow the E-KTP recording. This effort from Margo Laras is very helpful in fulfilling the civil rights of its citizens.

"Initially, Sarti's family from Tanjunganom was resigned to her mental condition, I didn't know how to care for her. My family and I are very grateful if Sarti's mother will be referred to the Mental Hospital for treatment after population administration and complete health, I am ready to help the process of the reference, "said the village official of Tanjunganom Urip.

"The recording brings an extraordinary experience, how hard it to get to the house and the mental condition of the beneficiaries which is still unstable, where some feel ashamed to have their photos taken, some are still stocks. However, thanks to good cooperation between Peksos Balai Margo Laras, officers from the Dukcapil Office, village officials all recordings went smoothly," said Erna Susilowati, Head of Social Services and Rehabilitation, as the person in charge of the family-based ATENSI activities of Margo Laras Pati.

Data recording carried out by officers from the Dukcapil Office of Pati Regency in the form of fingerprint recording, iris recording, digital signature recording, photo recording, and personal biodata recording, then the biometric data that has been recorded will be single data by the center to be ready to be printed in the form of E-KTP.
