No one worked in government schools!

On India Independence Day, Abhijeet Dipke, convener of CJP, accused that no matter which party is in power, government school in India is neglected and he was about to launch a campaign ‘School Thik Karo' from Maharashtra's Hingoli.

Speaking before heading to his native village Santuk Pimpri in Hingoli district, Dipke berated the political parties for their failure to do more to upgrade quality and infrastructure in schools, telling reporters, "Now people have realised they should discuss education, which is a need of the hour, regardless of which political party is in power in the states, nobody was doing anything in government schools.

Dipke also raised questions on spending priorities, pointing to huge banners being put up every 40-50 feet in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar city for Tiranga rally held in the presence of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on August 14, asking where the funds for such banners came from and how it could be better spent on schools and students in the villages.

The Campaign will include the activities:

School Thik Karo will ensure that parents do social audits of basic facilities in government schools and that the village heads will take up the works of infrastructure improvement.

In a previous post on social media, Dipke had claimed that a mere 80 years since Independence, children of villages should not be crying for basic school facilities; in another message, he expressed support for children protesting against the absence of a proper road to school in their village in Uttar Pradesh's Hamirpur.

The movement started after the Supreme Court of India, led by Justice Surya Kant, during a hearing on 15th May 2026 highlighted that the youth without any job were "like cockroaches" and they became media activists, RTI activists or social media users and attacked everyone — this became the founding principle of the movement the next day.
