The Story in Brief
Cockroach Janta Party convenor Abhijeet Dipke launched the School Thik Karo campaign from his native village in Hingoli on Independence Day. He inspected a Zilla Parishad school and found broken windows covered with banners of Deputy CM Eknath Shinde, no water in toilets, and only four benches for many students. He demanded capping of private school fees, alleging government neglect of poor students.
Dipke also plans a similar campaign for public hospitals, citing patients sleeping on floors and long waits for CT scans. He claimed over 94,000 government schools have shut in ten years, benefiting private schools. He urged rural youth to question fund utilisation and participate in politics.
The Indian Opinion
The School Thik Karo campaign rightly draws attention to crumbling government school infrastructure, but the allegation that 94,000 schools were shut to benefit private ones needs scrutiny, closures often happen due to consolidation or low enrolment. While fee capping for private schools sounds populist, it risks ignoring cost realities. The real test will be whether Dipke's campaign produces verifiable data and forces authorities to fix water, toilets and benches in every zilla parishad school, not just in his village.
