East Java only 3.7% of the total new KB participants in 2019. The conditions most in need of attention are
in underdeveloped areas, borders, islands and poor areas, which are in dire need of appropriate strategic
breakthroughs. The conditions most in need of attention are underdeveloped areas, borders, islands and
