The Indonesia SCM can be traced back to 1920’s when Chaplaincy organized activities for students on campus. On 28 December 1932 the Christelijke Student Vereeninging op Java (CSV) was founded by a group of Dutch and local students. In 1945, after Indonesia became independent, the Perhimpunan Mahasiswa Kristen Indonesia (PMKI) created to continue CSV’s work.
On 9 February 1950 Gerakan Mahasiswa Kristen Indonesia (GMKI) was established with a fusion of the CVS and the PMKI. This movement committed to attain the ideas of “having a deep rooted faith, a high level of intellect, and a strong sense of service”. The movement became largest in Asia with 50,000 members with 42 local branches focusing on wide range of issues of the country.
