School Thik Karo campaign exposes neglect at Maharashtra school
A man named Abhijeet Dipke started a special project called 'School Thik Karo', which means 'Fix the School'.
He began it on India's Independence Day.
The project checks village schools to find out what is broken or missing.
He visited a government school in Santuk Pimpri village in Maharashtra, India.
There, he found that students did not have clean drinking water.
The toilets were dirty, windows were broken, and there were not enough benches for students to sit on.
Dipke says every child deserves a safe school so they can learn and follow their dreams.
He wants villagers, young people, and local groups to work together to repair the schools.
He says the mission is not about politics, but about helping children.
The party's Instagram page was briefly blocked on Independence Day, but it was restored soon after.
Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), launched the 'School Thik Karo' campaign on Independence Day.
The campaign's first action was a systematic infrastructure audit of the government school in Santuk Pimpri, Maharashtra's Hingoli district.
The audit found a lack of safe drinking water, insufficient seating benches, unclean and dilapidated toilets, and broken windows.
Dipke said the strictly non-political campaign aims to build a systematic framework for inspecting, repairing, and upgrading rural government schools with community participation.
The CJP's Instagram account was briefly suspended on Independence Day and later restored, prompting Dipke to claim an attempt to silence the youth movement.
