Dipke launches village school audit push August 15
The Hindu··11 Aug
Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke announced a nationwide campaign from August 15 to improve government schools in villages. Parents are asked to audit electricity, drinking water, toilets and mid-day meals, while sarpanches face a public challenge to upgrade schools. Dipke said he will begin in Hingoli, Maharashtra, arguing village schools were neglected across 80 years of Independence.
