Dilapidated Rajasthan school building razed after CJP campaign
A dilapidated government school building in Rajasthan was demolished following a campaign by the Cockroach Janta Party to improve school infrastructure. The state government has sanctioned funds to construct a new building for the students.
Why it matters
It demonstrates the impact of grassroots activism on public education infrastructure and government accountability.
The dilapidated building of a government primary school in Rampura-Kanwarpura village near Rajasthan’s capital, Jaipur, where the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) activists were allegedly thrashed and chased out last month, was razed on Wednesday (September 2, 2026) to make way for a new structure. The school was declared unsafe after a technical survey in September 2025.
The students, who were earlier studying in a cattle enclosure close to the school building in unhygienic conditions, were shifted to a vacant house amid the CJP’s ‘ School Thik Karo ’ campaign. The CJP volunteers have assessed the condition of buildings, availability of teachers, academic arrangements and other facilities at a number of schools across Rajasthan.
