Following CJP protests, the Rajasthan government has ordered the construction of a new school building at Rampura, with the party describing the move as a major victory.
The development comes as the Rajasthan government announced a broader plan to overhaul infrastructure in government schools across the state.
The Rajasthan government has now ordered the construction of a new building for the school, with work scheduled to begin on September 1, 2026, according to an order issued late Saturday night. Financial approval of ₹ 12 lakh from the District Mineral Foundation Trust (DMFT) was issued on August 13, while another ₹ 6 lakh has been sanctioned from the MLA fund, taking the total allocation for the new building to ₹ 18 lakh. The Chief Minister’s Office said that, on the directions of Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma , a three-year roadmap involving an estimated expenditure of ₹ 12,500 crore has been prepared to transform government schools into safe, well-equipped, modern, inclusive and technology-enabled learning centres. Alongside the long-term roadmap, the government said school development works worth ₹ 3,006.34 crore have either been approved or are at various stages of tendering and implementation. The government said works worth ₹ 300 crore for 2,906 new classrooms have also been approved and are underway. A provision of ₹ 550 crore has been made for major repairs and safety-related works, while ₹ 936.34 crore has been earmarked for educational, residential and other special facilities.
The process for constructing the new school building has been initiated to provide students with a safe and improved learning environment, according to the government order. “Every drop of blood will bring a flood of revolution in this country,” Ranka said. Reacting to the government’s ₹ 12,500-crore roadmap, Ranka termed it a “huge victory” for the CJP but said the party would closely monitor its implementation. Ranka said the CJP would continue its “ School Thik Karo” campaign until government schools across Rajasthan were repaired and upgraded. “Waiting for governments across the country to make similar announcements,” he added.
On Friday, Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) workers were attacked by a group of people while visiting a dilapidated government school at Rampura Kanwarpura village in Jaipur’s Bagru Assembly constituency.
