‘When the govt fails…’: CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke reacts to his village school getting its first computer
Social media users supported Abhijeet Dipke's initiative to improve education in Maharashtra. The CJP founder's village school has just received its first computer.
CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke recently celebrated a milestone in his village school's transformation. The School Thik Karo campaign he launched achieved a significant victory when his village school received its first computers. Dipke expressed his elation on X, stating, "When the govt fails, people step up! First ever computer arrives at my village.
Change is possible!" Social media users echoed his sentiments, praising Dipke's efforts and highlighting the importance of collective responsibility in education improvement. Dipke's initiative stems from his own background in the Hingoli district of Maharashtra, where he claims government schools have faced neglect for nearly eight decades.
He visited a Zilla Parishad-run school in Santuk Pimpri village, where he identified serious infrastructure problems such as broken windows, clogged toilets, and inadequate seating. Dipke held a follow-up meeting with the village Sarpanch, who pledged to address the issues within a week. As part of the campaign, Dipke has already distributed benches to students in his village, a moment he described as "one of the biggest and happiest moments in my life."
He credited Abdul, a student in Limbala village, for his determination and his father's support in this ongoing fight for change. Dipke questioned the commitment of government officials, suggesting they should enroll their own children in government schools to demonstrate faith in these institutions.
