Mumbai: Abhijit Thipke has announced that a nationwide campaign will begin on Aug. 15 with the aim of improving government schools in villages.
Abhijit Thipke, the founder of an organization called the Karappanpoochi Janata Party (CJP), has released a video on social media. In it, he said: India has been independent for 80 years. Yet government schools in villages across the country have been neglected. Students still have to walk long distances to reach schools. There is also no drinking water or toilet facility. Because of this, girls in particular are facing a great deal of hardship.
We have built a new parliament and a new prime minister’s residence. Why have we not been able to establish new schools in villages? Do we not consider the children of farmers and wage laborers in the villages to be the future of our country? What have we done for those children, and why have we not been able to change the situation in which they cannot get the facilities that a child in a big city receives?
On the 15th of this month, India’s 80th Independence Day, a nationwide campaign will be launched urging improvements to government schools. As part of this campaign, I will go to my village, Hingoli, in the Marathwada region of Maharashtra, and make a request to the village head to improve the government schools there.
To village leaders...
All village leaders and parents who watch this video should help improve the condition of the government schools in their villages. Please send us photos and videos showing the condition after the schools have been improved. They will be published on CJP’s social media. He said this.
