School Thik Karo Campaign Takes Off, Dipke Says Government Schools Could Use a Little Attention

Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) convenor Abhijeet Dipke is set to launch the School Thik Karo campaign from Hingoli in Maharashtra on Independence Day, August 15, 2026, focusing on the condition of government run schools across India. Before leaving for his native village of Santuk Pimpri in Hingoli district, Dipke criticised political parties for what he described as inadequate efforts to improve the infrastructure and standard of government schools. Dipke Accuses Parties of Neglect Dipke said government run schools have remained neglected irrespective of which political party is in power. According to him, successive governments and political parties have failed to give sufficient priority to improving school infrastructure and the quality of education available through the public education system. His campaign seeks to put government schools at the centre of public discussion and highlight issues that affect students, teachers and communitie. Why Government Schools Matter Government schools remain an important part of India's education system, particularly for families that depend on publicly funded education. The condition of school buildings, classrooms, sanitation facilities, learning resources and other basic infrastructure can directly affect the educational environment for students. Improving these facilities is therefore an important part of strengthening public education. Dipke campaign is expected to focus attention on these concerns and push political parties to make government-school improvement a more visible policy priority. Independence Day Launch in Hingoli The choice of Independence Day for the campaign launch gives the initiative a broader message about nation building and the role of education in India's future. Launching the campaign from Hingoli also gives Dipke an opportunity to connect the national issue with concerns in his own region of Maharashtra. The campaign could potentially bring greater attention to the condition of government schools and encourage public discussion about how governments can improve educational infrastructure. Beyond Political Promises One of the central questions raised by the campaign is whether commitments to improve education translate into measurable improvements on the ground. While political parties frequently highlight education in their programme and election campaign, the quality of implementation ultimately determines whether students benefit from those promise. Dipke criticism is directed at political parties across the political spectrum, rather than being limited to one particular party. His argument is that government schools require sustained attention regardless of who controls the government. What the Campaign Could Mean The success of School Thik Karo will depend on whether it can move beyond political criticism and generate concrete demands, public participation and sustained attention to government schools. The campaign also places the wider issue of public education in the spotlight at a time when India continue to debate how to improve learning outcome, infrastructure and opportunitie for students. For now, Dipke initiative is positioning government schools as a national priority and challenging political partie to do more to address their infrastructure and educational standards.
