CJP’s Abhijeet Dipke launches ‘School Thik Karo’ campaign, questions poor state of govt schools

On Saturday, Abhijeet Dipke, the convenor of CJP, accused all the political parties in power in India of ignoring the poor condition of government schools in the country. He made the remarks as he prepares for the launch of his campaign 'School Thik Karo' from Hingoli of Maharashtra on the occasion of Independence Day, that is also Dipke's village.

"We have made a new Parliament, a new PM house. Why have we not been able to build new schools in our villages? Do we not consider the children of farmers and labourers the future of our country?” he had asked.

Dipke made his complaint against the political class in India before he set out for his ancestral village Santuk Pimpri in Hingoli district of Maharashtra. He also feels that parties are not doing enough to improve infrastructure and standard of government schools.

"People have now understood that they should talk about education, which is the need of the hour. No matter which political party ruled, nobody worked for government schools in states. Now there is a need, and we can make them work by asking questions,'' he said.

He questioned the source of funding for the large banners that appeared across Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar on Friday during a Tiranga rally attended by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.

''It is good that a Tiranga rally was organised. However, there were huge banners (of the rally) placed every 40-50 feet. Where did this money come from? Had this money been spent on schools and students in rural areas, it would have been even better. They should think about whether they want to create a future of students or not,'' Dipke added.

While announcing a nationwide campaign on Monday to improve government schools in villages, Dipke urged parents to conduct social audits of basic facilities and sarpanches to lead efforts to upgrade the institutions.

"We have made a new Parliament, a new PM house. Why have we not been able to build new schools in our villages? Do we not consider the children of farmers and labourers the future of our country?” he questioned.
