Budi Utomo, Educational organization in Jakarta, Indonesia
Budi Utomo operated through a network of 40 branches across Indonesia, involving students and civil servants in educational advancement programs.
Founded on May 20, 1908, by Dr. Soetomo and STOVIA medical students, Budi Utomo marked the beginning of Indonesian national movement against Dutch colonization.
The organization combined Western education methods with Javanese traditions to create educational programs that respected local cultural values.
Members funded their activities by using holiday allowances from STOVIA and selling personal belongings to support organizational meetings.
The name derives from Sanskrit words: bodhi meaning consciousness and uttama meaning excellent, reflecting the organization's educational aspirations.
