Abhijeet Dipke launches 'School Thik Karo' campaign for govt schools
There is a group in India called the Cockroach Janta Party, started by a man named Abhijeet Dipke.
He says many government schools in villages are being ignored and don't have good facilities.
Kids sometimes have to walk very long distances to school, and when they get there, basic things are missing.
So his group is starting a campaign called 'School Thik Karo,' which means 'fix our schools.'
To do this, parents will check the school buildings and facilities, and village leaders will be asked to make things better.
The campaign will begin in Dipke's own village in Hingoli, Maharashtra, on Independence Day.
Around the same time, children in Hamirpur, Uttar Pradesh, marched to a government office because there was no proper road to their school.
Dipke cheered them on and said they are fighting for their future.
He hopes everyone will work together to build better schools for kids in villages.
Abhijeet Dipke, founder and national convenor of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), announced the party's second campaign, 'School Thik Karo,' launching on Independence Day to fix neglected government schools in villages.
The campaign was first announced Monday in an Instagram video message and publicly posted on X on Wednesday.
Under the campaign, parents will conduct social audits of basic facilities in government schools, while village heads will be asked to take up improvements.
The campaign will begin in Dipke's village in Hingoli, Maharashtra.
Dipke tied the campaign to protests by Gen Alpha students from Chandpur village in Hamirpur, Uttar Pradesh, who marched to the district collectorate over the lack of a proper road to their school.
