‘611 schools without buildings’: Rajasthan govt admits lapses amid CJP ‘checks’, blames Congress, Gehlot
The BJP dubbed the poor condition of government schools as the “sin” of the previous Congress government that the current administration was trying to fix.
The Congress-led Rajasthan government has admitted to a major shortfall in school infrastructure, with 611 schools operating without their own buildings, according to a recent disclosure. The BJP government, which took over after the Congress, blamed the previous administration for the poor condition of these schools. The revelation came in response to a question from the Leader of Opposition Tika Ram Jully and was made following an audit conducted after a school accident in Jhalawar, where seven students died and 28 were injured when a school building collapsed during morning prayers.
This incident occurred in July last year, highlighting the urgent need for better infrastructure in government schools. The BJP claimed that the current government is addressing the "sin" of the previous Congress government, while the CJP volunteers, on their way to inspect a government school in Jaipur's Bagru assembly constituency, were allegedly attacked by a group of people with BJP connections.
The volunteers were on a mission to assess school infrastructure and facilities, as reported by India Today, citing Unified District Information System for Education (UDISE) data for 2025-26.
