Earlier, Dipke also launched the ‘School Thik Karo' campaign on Independence Day from his native village of Santuk Pimpri in Maharashtra's Hingoli district, accusing successive political parties of neglecting rural government schools and allowing basic infrastructure to deteriorate.
The campaign seeks to improve school facilities through social audits, community participation and greater accountability from village authorities. Dipke said rural schools continue to struggle with essential amenities despite public spending on major projects and political publicity.
Questioning government spending priorities, Dipke posted on X, questioning why funds were being allocated to projects such as a new Parliament building and the Prime Minister's residence while village schools lacked basic amenities and hygiene. He wrote, “Even after 80 years of Independence, our govt schools still lack basic amenities.”
The campaign aims to upgrade school infrastructure by driving community engagement, conducting social audits, and enforcing stronger accountability among local leaders. Dipke noted that despite substantial public spending on flagship projects and political promotions, rural schools still lack essential amenities.
