CJP Fix the Schools campaign (Img AI generated)
New Delhi: The Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) has announced the launch of its ‘Fix the Schools’ (School Theek Karo) campaign from Hingoli district in Maharashtra on Independence Day, aiming to improve infrastructure and accountability in rural government schools.
The campaign will begin at 7:30 AM from Santuk Pimpri village, the native place of CJP founder Abhijit Deepke. Under the initiative, teams will visit villages to collect information about school conditions and encourage local communities and village heads (sarpanchs) to address issues related to basic facilities.
Speaking to reporters in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar after returning from Delhi, Abhijit Deepke said the campaign would begin from his own village.
"I will launch the ‘Fix the Schools’ campaign from my village. I will request the local sarpanch to repair the government school and ensure basic facilities like benches and drinking water are available for students," Deepke said.
He added that teams formed under the campaign would visit different villages and work with residents and sarpanchs to improve school conditions through public participation.
Responding to questions about the Tiranga Yatra organised in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar in the presence of Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Deepke said such patriotic events should be encouraged on Independence Day.
However, he stressed that equal attention should be given to education and rural infrastructure.
"Such marches should take place on Independence Day. But attention must also be paid to education. We are receiving videos where girls complain that they have to walk seven kilometres to reach school because there are no roads," Deepke said.
Earlier, Deepke had appealed to sarpanchs across villages to take responsibility for repairing government schools and ensuring students receive essential facilities.
He urged parents and citizens to visit schools in their areas, identify shortcomings and share information with the CJP so that improvements can be initiated.
Announcing the campaign earlier, Deepke said that even decades after independence, many rural children continue to struggle for basic school amenities.
In a social media post, he stated that the nation must address the challenges faced by village students and launched the ‘School Theek Karo’ campaign with the aim of improving government schools.
He also shared a message highlighting the need for an India where children proudly carry the Tricolour to school rather than being forced into hardships due to poverty.
