Amid CJP's 'School Thik Karo' campaign, govt audit reveals 611 Rajasthan schools without buildings

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.
