· India · Indian Express, The Hindu
Cockroach Janata Party activist Abhijeet Dipke launched the Adivasi School Thik Karo campaign in Nagpur on Wednesday, September 16, to target basic educational facilities in tribal areas. Dipke announced that his team will visit tribal schools across Maharashtra, including Gadchiroli, as well as Rajasthan, Jharkhand, Odisha, and Gujarat to document student infrastructure. The initiative follows the party's earlier School Thik Karo campaign and focuses on immediate concerns such as anganwadi classrooms being used for regular teaching. Dipke claimed that over 590 Adivasi students had died in Maharashtra over the past two years due to factors including food poisoning and inadequate medical access. He also raised concerns over teacher vacancies and the deployment of teaching staff for non-teaching election duties.
