Ministry of Home Affairs (Indonesia)

The Indonesian Department of Home of Affairs traces its origin to the Departement van Binnenlands Bestuur of the Dutch East Indies Government. Its main function was to oversee police force, transmigration, and agrarian matters. It existed until 1942, the year of the Japanese invasion. During the Japanese occupation (1942-1945) the name was changed to Naimubu (内務部). Its function was expanded to oversee religious, social, health, education, pedagogic, and cultural matters. Naimubu maintained its operations from its office at Jalan Sagara no. 7 Djakarta until 1945. On 19 August 1945 Naimubu was split into several departments:

• Department of Home Affairs (Departemen Dalam Negeri); at the time, still overseeing religious matters; Religious matters would eventually be cast out into the purview of newly established Department of Religious Affairs
• Department of Social Affairs
• Department of Health
• Department of Education, Pedagogic, and Culture

Department of Home Affairs was the first government department established under the Presidential Cabinet of Indonesia since the Independence. Due to changes of political situation and the constitution, the department had to be re-established several times. The nomenclature "Departemen Dalam Negeri" (Department of Home Affairs) was changed to "Kementerian Dalam Negeri" (Ministry of Home Affairs) in 2010.
