Rajasthan pupils moved after clash at village school
The Hindu··23 Aug
On 22 August 2026, about 20 pupils of the government primary school in Rampura-Kanwarpura near Jaipur were moved to a vacant house after a clash the previous day. Cockroach Janta Party activists had gone to inspect the school and were driven out. The children had been studying in a cattle enclosure after the school building was declared unsafe.

What It Means For You
- If your child is among the 20 who came to school on Saturday, classes are now in a former shop about 50 metres from the old site, not in the cattle shed.
- Anyone in Rampura-Kanwarpura should know both CJP and villagers have filed assault complaints at Shivdaspura.
- If you are waiting for a permanent school, villagers have asked the State to rebuild the condemned building rather than keep shifting rooms.
What's Happening
- On 21 August a CJP team of about 40 was stopped at barricades, pushed and, according to the party, hit with stones; car windows were smashed.
- The school had been running from a cattle enclosure because the original building was unsafe.
- An Education Department order after an Alwar school protest had already restricted outsider entry and photography without the head's written nod.
Why Classes Moved From A Cattle Shed
- The shift came one day after the inspection attempt, not after a planned works tender.
- CJP has accused BJP workers of joining the crowd; villagers deny a party angle and say they want the school rebuilt.
- Bagru Assembly segment, where the village sits, is now the local political frame for a facilities dispute that began as a social audit.
