Cockroach Janta Party founder Abhijeet Dipke on Wednesday alleged that tribal schools in India faced government apathy over the last 80 years, and announced the launch of his group's 'Adivasi School Thik Karo' campaign from Gadchiroli in the state from September 17.
Addressing a press conference here, Dipke said the campaign is aimed at drawing the government's attention towards the problems and discrimination faced by tribal students.
A month back, the CJP
launched the 'School Thik Karo' (Fix the Schools), a nationwide campaign aimed at improving the condition of rural and urban public schools. Dipke said, "Schools in tribal regions across India have been neglected by all governments in the last 80 years.
Therefore, we are starting the 'Adivasi School Thik Karo' campaign from Thursday in Gadchiroli district of Maharashtra." As part of the exercise, CJP representatives will visit tribal schools and inspect the facilities and infrastructure, he said.
