Cockroach Janta Party launches #SchoolThikKaro, exposes rural schools' lack of basics
Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), an online satirical movement, launched the #SchoolThikKaro campaign to highlight India's poorly funded and dilapidated government schools. The campaign followed protests that led to Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation in May after NEET exam cancellations. CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke visited over 20 rural schools, finding them lacking basic facilities like benches and clean toilets. India spends only 4.1% of its GDP on education, below the recommended 6%. Videos shared by students have prompted local authorities to address some issues but broader systemic changes remain unaddressed.
