Windows, CCTV being replaced: Repair work begins at school in Abhijeet Dipke's village amid 'School Thik Karo' campaign

The School Thik Karo campaign, initiated by Abhijeet Dipke, the founder of the Cockroach Janata Party, is underway in the village of Santuk Pimpri in Maharashtra. During his visit on Independence Day, Dipke identified several issues at a Zilla Parishad school, including broken windows, inoperable CCTV cameras, and the absence of basic amenities.

Following the flag hoisting ceremony, Dipke inspected the school campus and pointed out these problems. The local gram panchayat subsequently ordered repair work at the government school. Sarpanch Vijay Puri confirmed that the damaged windows are being replaced with new window frames, and defunct CCTV cameras are being restored.

Additionally, the lack of water supply in the school toilets has been addressed by arranging round-the-clock water provision. The headmaster of the school stated that repair works have been carried out in accordance with the directives from higher authorities. Dipke, during his launch of the School Thik Karo campaign, emphasized the need for basic amenities, as the absence of such facilities even 80 years after India's independence raises concerns about the country's development.

He introduced a checklist to identify and document the availability of essential amenities in schools across Maharashtra and the nation.
