Today, September 26, 2017, is nationally commemorated as National Statistics Day (HSN) 2017. HSN 2017 takes the theme of "Collaboration with Data". This theme is a call for all elements of the nation to work together, to build Indonesia, with reference to statistics as its foundation.
Judging from the past, the establishment of HSN began with the promulgation of Law No. 7 of 1960 on Statistics as a replacement for Statistiek Ordonnantie 1934 on September 26, 1960 as an effort to fulfill the need for the preparation of Planning of the Planet Development. The law details the organization of statistics and organization of the Central Bureau of Statistics.
Furthermore, the President of the Republic of Indonesia in August 1996 stipulated the date of the enactment of Law Number 7 Year 1960 on the Statistics as "National Statistics Day". The reason, that the birth of the Act is the starting point of the BPS trip in filling independence in the field of statistics that had been arranged based on the colonial legislation system. Subsequently, the Government of Indonesia enacted Law Number 16 Year 1997 on Statistics, in lieu of Laws No. 6 and 7 of 1960.
In this HS7 2017 anniversary, the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) as a provider of statistical data in Indonesia today held a rally of HSN 2017 simultaneously throughout Indonesia. After the appeal of HSN 2017, Jawa Timur Provincial BPS held various competitions such as singing, inserting nails in bottles, marine relay, costume and infographic making. The competition was followed by all BPS staff of Jawa Timur Province.
