Dilapidated Rajasthan school building razed after CJP campaign

The dilapidated building of a government primary school in Rampura-Kanwarpura village near Rajasthan’s capital, Jaipur, where the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) activists were allegedly thrashed and chased out last month, was razed on Wednesday (September 2, 2026) to make way for a new structure. The school was declared unsafe after a technical survey in September 2025.

The students, who were earlier studying in a cattle enclosure close to the school building in unhygienic conditions, were shifted to a vacant house amid the CJP’s ‘School Thik Karo’ campaign. The CJP volunteers have assessed the condition of buildings, availability of teachers, academic arrangements and other facilities at a number of schools across Rajasthan.

The old building of the Rampura-Kanwarpura school, constructed in 1985, was bulldozed in the presence of district administration and Education Department officials. The State government has sanctioned ₹18 lakh, including ₹6 lakh from the MLA local area development fund, for the construction of new building.
