KSR PMI Unit UPI

What KSR PMI Unit UPI does

KSR PMI Unit UPI (Korps Sukarela Palang Merah Indonesia Unit Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia) is a student volunteer organization (Unit Kegiatan Mahasiswa, UKM) based at Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. Founded in 1975 as Keluarga Donor Darah Formica (KDD Formica) and rebranded to its current name on 3 May 2003 through MUSANG XVII, it operates under the organizational umbrella of Palang Merah Indonesia (PMI), the Indonesian Red Cross. The organization runs two flagship training programs — DIKLATSAR (basic training) and DIKLANJUT (advanced training) — that produce certified volunteers in first aid, disaster management, blood donor coordination, community health education, and Red Cross youth (PMR) facilitation. It has produced 40+ member cohorts since 2003 and was recognized as the top university-level blood donor organization in Bandung, West Java, and nationally from 1998 through 2012, collecting approximately 3,000 blood bags in 2007-2008.

The organization delivers services free of charge through on-campus events (blood drives, health education, training) at UPI facilities including Gedung PKM and Gedung Amphiteater, and through off-campus field programs such as Pengabdian pada Masyarakat (P2M) targeting rural communities in Kecamatan Kertasari, Kabupaten Bandung. It also conducts health education outreach in schools (e.g., SMK Pasundan 1 Bandung) and Islamic boarding schools (pondok pesantren) in the Cililin area. The organization has 18 active personnel and operates as a private non-profit student organization with no commercial revenue, no equity ownership, and no external investment; it is funded through member contributions, donations, and event sponsorship. Its go-to-market is community-led and event-driven, relying on word-of-mouth within the UPI student body, university organizational networks, the annual MUSANG member assembly, and multi-channel social media presence (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, plus a Blogspot archive).

The organization's core beneficiaries are three segments: UPI students (who join as volunteer members), the PMI/UDD blood supply chain (which receives recruited donors and collected units), and the general public (including rural and school communities reached through community service). Key institutional partners include PMI Kota Bandung (especially Ace Kusnadi as Ketua Bidang Kebencanaan dan Kesukarelawanan), PMI Kecamatan Sukasari (A. Agung Pranata), UTDC Kota Bandung, UPI faculty advisors (Dr. Angga Hadiapurwa, Dr. Pandu Hyangsewu, Dr. Nurti Budiyanti), and a 2008 visitor exchange with the Netherlands Red Cross (Nederlandse Rode Kruis). The organization is governed by elected leadership renewed annually through the Musyawarah Anggota cycle, most recently MUSANG XXXVII in January 2026, which inaugurated 57 board members in March 2026.

Others

• Relawan PMI: The broader network of Indonesian Red Cross volunteers outside the university KSR unit structure. Comparable target population (young Indonesian volunteers) and similar training/disaster response activities, providing a benchmark for recruitment scale and engagement models.

Regional players

• KSR PMI Unit UI: The KSR PMI unit at Universitas Indonesia in Depok. Comparable structure and scope, with potential to set national programmatic standards for university KSR units competing for PMI central recognition.
• KSR PMI Unit UGM: The KSR PMI unit at Universitas Gadjah Mada in Yogyakarta. Operates the same national KSR PMI framework with similar training and donor programs, providing a regional benchmark for program design outside West Java.
• KSR PMI Unit UB: The KSR PMI unit at Universitas Brawijaya in Malang, East Java. Comparable in mandate and structure, operating the same KSR PMI framework for university-based humanitarian volunteer development.
• KSR PMI Unit UNDIP: The KSR PMI unit at Universitas Diponegoro in Semarang. Runs the same volunteer formation, blood donation, and disaster response programs at a major public university, providing a peer comparison for organizational scale and donor output.

Broad incumbents

• PMI Kota Bandung: The city-level Indonesian Red Cross chapter in Bandung. Operates as the parent/umbrella organization for KSR PMI units including UPI, providing training curricula, donor events, and official recognition. KSR PMI Unit UPI is a structural subunit of this larger humanitarian organization.

Direct peers

Operates the same KSR PMI model with blood donation drives, first aid training, and disaster response programs, directly competing for student volunteers and PMI recognition in the same region.
• KSR PMI Unit ITB: The KSR PMI unit at Institut Teknologi Bandung, another major West Java university. Runs parallel DIKLATSAR-style training and blood donation programs, making it a direct comparable for both volunteer pipeline and donor mobilization in the same Bandung metropolitan area.

Emerging players

• MDMC (Muhammadiyah Disaster Management Center): A faith-based Indonesian humanitarian and disaster response organization active on multiple university campuses. Comparable in youth volunteer mobilization and community service orientation, though structured around Muhammadiyah's network rather than Red Cross.
