Agus explained that what Perumda KBS has the mission to ensure that Bali's cultural heritage remained sustainable and could be enjoyed by the next generation.

 

"We at Perumda are currently planning to transliterate Balinese lontar and providing a platform for digitizing and translating Balinese lontar which can display photos of lontar along with its contents in both Balinese and Indonesian. The goal is that Bali's cultural heritage remains sustainable and can be enjoyed and studied by future generations.
