Why it matters
The campaign highlights ongoing challenges in rural education infrastructure and attempts to mobilize local governance to address systemic neglect.
Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke on Monday (August 10, 2026) announced a nationwide campaign to improve government schools in villages, calling on parents to conduct social audits of basic facilities and sarpanches to take up the task of improving the institutions.
The campaign will be launched on August 15, with the CJP calling upon citizens, parents and village leaders to work together to address what it termed “neglect of rural educational infrastructure”.
In a video message, Mr. Dipke said he would launch the initiative from his village Hingoli in Maharashtra by approaching the village head with the request of improving the government schools there.
“The coming 15th August is our 80th Independence Day. But, if anything has been neglected or ignored the most in the last 80 years, it is the government schools in our villages,” Mr. Dipke said.
