Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke has announced a nationwide campaign to improve government schools in villages, beginning August 15. The initiative calls on parents to conduct social audits of basic facilities, including electricity, drinking water, functional toilets and mid-day meals. Dipke has also challenged sarpanches to improve schools under a “Sarpanch Challenge,” with successful efforts to be publicly recognised through before-and-after photographs. The campaign will begin from Dipke’s village in Hingoli, Maharashtra. The CJP says the initiative aims to address rural educational infrastructure gaps and ensure children of farmers and labourers receive facilities comparable to those available in urban schools.
