CJP founder launches school audit campaign highlighting missing basics in rural Maharashtra school
Abhijeet Dipke of the Cockroach Janta Party started the ‘School Thik Karo’ drive in his hometown, exposing a lack of water, benches and clean toilets at a government school in Hingoli.
In Chhatrpati Sambhajinagar, Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke unveiled the ‘School Thik Karo’ initiative, beginning with a walkthrough of a government school in his native Santuk Pimpri, Hingoli district. The video showed students pointing out missing drinking water, lack of benches, filthy toilets, broken windows and insufficient water supply. Dipke called for a countrywide social audit, providing a downloadable assessment form that residents can use to upload video evidence of school deficiencies.
He urged village sarpanchs to document repairs through comparative photographs and share successes to inspire other communities. The sarpanch assured that the identified issues would be addressed within a week. Dipke also questioned recent spending on large banners for a Tiranga rally attended by Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis, suggesting the money be redirected to improve rural school facilities. The campaign seeks to mobilize parents, locals and officials to hold governments accountable for basic educational amenities.
