Rajasthan's Government Schools: A Tale of Two Priorities The confrontation between the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) and the Rajasthan government over dilapidated school infrastructure has exposed a worrying trend in India's education system.
Activists like Ashutosh Ranka are willing to take risks to highlight the deplorable conditions of government schools, while the state government appears more concerned with saving face than addressing fundamental issues.
The CJP's campaign to inspect government schools has been met with resistance from local authorities, who seem more interested in silencing activists than improving living conditions for students and teachers.
