CJP’s Dipke launches ‘School Thik Karo’ campaign

On Saturday, Abhijeet Dipke, the convenor of CJP, criticized all political parties in power in India for neglecting the poor state of government schools across the country. He made these remarks as he prepared to launch his campaign, School Thik Karo, in Hingoli, Maharashtra, on Independence Day, which is also Dipke's village. Dipke questioned why, despite the creation of a new Parliament and a new Prime Minister's residence, new schools had not been built in villages.

He asked if the country's leaders truly consider the children of farmers and laborers as the future of the nation. Dipke also expressed frustration over the lack of efforts from political parties to improve the infrastructure and standards of government schools. He urged people to start discussing education, which he deemed crucial for the nation's development.

Dipke pointed out the presence of large banners during a Tiranga rally attended by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Friday, questioning where the money for these banners had come from. He suggested that if this money had been allocated to schools and students in rural areas, it would have been much more beneficial. Dipke concluded by urging parents to conduct social audits of basic facilities and for sarpanches to lead efforts to upgrade government institutions.
