'How can any kid use this toilet?': Dipke launches 'School Thik Karo' campaign, inspects govt school in Maharashtra
CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke launched the School Thik Karo campaign from Maharashtra's Hingoli, flagging poor facilities at a government school. He called for social audits to identify and address gaps in rural schools.
Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), launched the School Thik Karo campaign in Maharashtra's Hingoli district on Saturday. He inspected a Zilla Parishad school in Santuk Pimpri, questioning the lack of basic facilities such as drinking water, functional toilets, and proper windows. Dipke expressed concern over how students can use such toilets, highlighting the need for better basic infrastructure in government schools.
The campaign aims to conduct a nationwide social audit of government schools, using a standardised assessment form to gather information on facilities like electricity, drinking water, separate toilets for boys and girls, benches, and the quality of midday meals. Dipke urged parents, residents, and sarpanchs to identify shortcomings and work towards improvements, encouraging documentation of changes through photographs.
He also criticized the government for neglecting schools and suggested capping private school fees to ensure equal opportunities for education.
