Amid CJP's 'School Thik Karo' campaign, govt audit reveals 611 Rajasthan schools without buildings
The revelation comes shortly after a team of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), led by its co-convenor Ashutosh Ranka, was attacked while travelling to inspect a government school in Bagru near Jaipur.
The Rajasthan government has admitted to 611 government schools operating without buildings, as reported by the Legislative Assembly in response to a question from Leader of Opposition Tika Ram Jully. The Unified District Information System for Education (UDISE) data for 2025-26 under the Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan revealed that these 611 schools, including 10 girls schools, lack permanent buildings.
The BJP-led government attributed this issue to the previous Congress government's tenure under Ashok Gehlot. The revelation follows a team of the CJP, led by Ashutosh Ranka, being attacked while inspecting a school in Bagru, Jaipur, suspected of operating from a cowshed. The CJP launched the 'School Thik Karo' campaign to demand a nationwide social audit of government schools and improved facilities.
