Lemtek UI Holds Iftar Gathering during the Holy Month of Ramadan 1447 H
On Friday, March 6, 2026, Lemtek UI held an iftar (breaking of the fast) gathering during the holy month of Ramadan. The event took place in the hall on the first floor of the Lemtek UI Building at the Universitas Indonesia Salemba Campus. The gathering was attended by Lemtek UI leadership, management, and all employees, as well as several experts and business partners associated with Lemtek UI.
Lemtek UI also invited representatives from the leadership of the Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Indonesia (FTUI). Among those present were Prof. Dr. Dalhar Susanto, Vice Dean for Resources, Ventures, and General Administration of FTUI, and Dr. Evi Anggraheni, MT, Manager for Cooperation, Ventures, and Entrepreneurship at FTUI.
The event began with an opening by the Master of Ceremony, followed by the recitation of verses from the Holy Qur’an by Mr. Budi Tarso, accompanied by the saritilawah (Qur’anic recitation interpretation) by Ayunta Avitamie, S.Ars. The program continued with remarks delivered by Prof. Dr. Asep Handaya Saputra, Head of Lemtek UI. In his speech, he expressed gratitude that everyone had been given the opportunity by Allah SWT to observe the fasting month of Ramadan. He also expressed appreciation for the many blessings bestowed upon Lemtek UI employees, which contributed to the organization achieving outstanding performance in 2025 as a business unit under FTUI, with hopes for even greater development in the future. He also conveyed his appreciation to Prof. Dr. Dalhar Susanto and Dr. Evi Anggraheni for attending the iftar gathering and representing the FTUI leadership.
The next remarks were delivered by Prof. Dr. Dalhar Susanto. He expressed his gratitude for the invitation and conveyed apologies on behalf of Prof. Kemas Ridwan Kurniawan, PhD, Dean of FTUI, who was unable to attend as he was traveling back to Jakarta from Saudi Arabia after completing the Umrah pilgrimage. He also noted that Prof. Dr. Ir. Akhmad Herman Yuwono, Vice Dean for Education, Research, and Student Affairs of FTUI, was unable to attend as he was representing the FTUI leadership at another iftar event held simultaneously at the Department of Electrical Engineering FTUI.
During his remarks, Prof. Dalhar Susanto expressed his appreciation and high recognition for Lemtek UI’s performance, which has significantly exceeded its established targets. He noted that Lemtek UI has consistently maintained its position as the second-highest revenue-generating Special Community Service Activity Unit (UKKPPM) within Universitas Indonesia for the past two years. In 2025, the total revenue generated by 55 UKKPPM units across Universitas Indonesia (excluding RSUI) reached approximately IDR 830 billion. Lemtek UI ranked second after LPEM UI, contributing more than 10 percent of the total revenue generated by all UKKPPM units within the university.
He further highlighted that in 2025, FTUI successfully exceeded the performance contract targets set by Universitas Indonesia, and Lemtek UI played an important role in supporting that achievement. Universitas Indonesia has also established a new performance contract for FTUI in 2026, and it is hoped that Lemtek UI, as a UKKPPM unit under FTUI, will continue to contribute significantly by achieving performance results that surpass the targets set.
Following the remarks, a joint prayer was led by Mr. Zumri, after which the participants broke their fast together. The attendees then performed the Maghrib prayer in congregation at the Lemtek UI prayer room located on the second floor of the building, followed by a communal dinner.
The iftar gathering holds special significance in Islamic tradition as an act of worship, reflecting one of the deeds most beloved by Allah—providing food to those who fast. It also represents the spirit of Ukhuwah Islamiyah (Islamic brotherhood) and serves as a meaningful occasion to strengthen togetherness and seek blessings through shared fellowship.
