‘New Parliament, PM house, why not…': CJP's Abhijeet Dipke launches campaign to improve govt schools in villages

CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke has launched a nationwide campaign to improve government schools in villages. He urged village heads and parents to take responsibility for enhancing the facilities for children, and called on people to pledge to the cause on India's 80th Independence Day. Dipke highlighted the neglect and lack of improvement in village schools over the past 80 years, questioning why the country's children, especially those from farmer and laborer families, are not given the same facilities as those in cities.

He pointed out that village children still have to walk long distances to attend school and often lack access to basic amenities like water and washrooms. Dipke promised to visit his village in Maharashtra's Marathwada region and ask the sarpanch (village head) to improve the government schools there. He also appealed to village heads to help improve the condition of schools in their areas, promising to display their contributions on CJP's social media.

Dipke encouraged parents to conduct a social audit of their children's schools, checking for basic facilities such as electricity, water, washrooms, and midday meals. The CJP will soon release a form for parents to share details about their children's schools and infrastructure.
