Budi Utomo is an Indonesian organization founded on May 20, 1908, by Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo and his colleagues. It is considered one of the first modern nationalist movements in Indonesia, aiming to promote education and social welfare among the Javanese people. The name "Budi Utomo" translates to "Noble Endeavor," reflecting its mission to uplift the community. The organization played a significant role in fostering a sense of national identity and unity among Indonesians. It laid the groundwork for future movements that ultimately led to Indonesia's independence from colonial rule. Budi Utomo is celebrated annually on May 20 as a national day of remembrance.
