New Delhi: Cockroach Janta Party founder and national convenor Abhijeet Dipke has announced that CJP will launch its second campaign on Independence Day. It’s called School Thik Karo—fix our schools.
“Kids in villages shouldn’t be pleading for basic facilities at school after 80 years of Independence! As a country, we have failed rural kids in the worst possible way. This Independence Day, CJP will launch the “School Thik Karo” campaign to improve Govt schools in villages,” he posted on X Wednesday.
SCHOOL THIK KARO!

Dipke had first announced the campaign Monday in a video message on Instagram, saying that if anything had been “neglected or ignored the most” in the decades since independence, it was the government schools in villages.
The announcement comes as Gen Alpha students in Uttar Pradesh’s Hamirpur have been protesting over the lack of a proper road to their school. Hundreds of children from Chandpur village, joined by parents and villagers, marched to the district collectorate Tuesday demanding action.
Dipke backed them Wednesday, saying the children were “fighting for their future” and tying their protest to CJP’s School Thik Karo campaign. “More power to you Gen Alpha! This is so so inspiring,” he posted on X.
This week, he has shared several videos showing children speaking about a lack of basic facilities at their schools.
Plans for a ‘shiksha kranti’
Under the School Thik Karo campaign, parents will conduct social audits of basic facilities in government schools, while village heads will be asked to take up improvements.
Dipke said in the Instagram reel that the campaign will begin in his village in Hingoli, Maharashtra. CJP plans to approach village heads and ask them to improve government schools in their areas.
He said parents and village leaders would work to address the ‘neglect of rural educational infrastructure’.
“We have made a new Parliament, a new PM house. Why have we not been able to build new schools in our villages? Do we not consider the children of farmers and labourers the future of our country?” he asked.
Dipke also pointed to children in villages having to walk long distances to school and struggling with a lack of basic facilities once they get there.
He has posted videos on Instagram of himself interacting with schoolchildren, including one captioned “recruiting new cockroaches!”
CJP spokesperson and co-convenor Saurav Das also announced the School Thik Karo campaign on X.
“The manner in which the governments have ignored our schools is unacceptable. It’s time we FIX them”, he wrote. “The young generation is bringing in the Shiksha Kranti!”
