The Rajasthan government has sanctioned Rs 18 lakh to build a new building for Government Primary School, Rampura (Kanwarpura), in Jaipur's Sanganer block. Work will start from September 1. Of the funds, Rs 12 lakh came from the District Mineral Foundation Trust on August 13 and Rs 6 lakh from an MLA fund.
The announcement came after a Cockroach Janata Party team visiting the school on Friday as part of its 'School Thik Karo' campaign was attacked by villagers. Cross FIRs have been registered. CJP co-founder Ashutosh Ranka welcomed the decision but questioned why work could not begin earlier, and said the party would continue inspecting schools across Rajasthan, starting with western districts including Jodhpur.
The school had 18 students and two teachers. It was declared dilapidated in September 2025 and classes were being held in a cattle enclosure after villagers opposed shifting children to a school in nearby Beelwa.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The Rampura school had been declared dilapidated nearly a year ago, but construction stalled over funding and land issues common to rural Rajasthan. With 18 students and classes held in a cattle enclosure, the case exemplifies the gap between infrastructure announcements and ground reality. The Rs 12,000-crore state plan for school repairs, announced in March, faces a compressed three-year timeline after CJP's campaign. Watch whether the September 1 start date holds, and whether the government publishes a district-wise list of schools to be taken up next.
