Quotes
Abhijeet Dipke
Founder and convenor of the Cockroach Janta Party
“Almost all governments have ignored tribal students...Political parties build their party headquarters in every district by spending crores of rupees, but they don't have funds to give to tribal residential schools that are mostly operated from rented properties.”

“We request all the government to focus on tribal schools and tribal students and students from the rural areas across the country, because these tribal and rural students also are the future of the country just like students from big cities and private schools.”
