When Questioning a Government School Becomes a Confrontation A school is supposed to be a place where children learn to question the world. But in Jodhwas, Alwar, Rajasthan, the questions appear to have travelled in the opposite direction — from citizens to the state. The supplied video shows CJP... co-convenor Ashutosh Ranka confronting officials during the School Thik Karo campaign, pressing them over the condition of the school and the basic facilities available to children. The accompanying transcript captures questions about the school's condition and the water being provided to students. This is not merely about one school. A nationwide School Thik Karo campaign has been launched to examine government-school infrastructure and basic amenities. Recent reporting confirms that CJP teams have begun school inspections, while the Rajasthan government has simultaneously issued restrictions on unauthorised entry, photography and videography inside government schools. And that raises the uncomfortable question: Why should the condition of a government school become something to hide rather than something to fix? If children lack safe drinking water, adequate infrastructure or basic facilities, the answer cannot be to control the camera. The answer must be to repair the classroom. The real test of governance is not the grandeur of a government building, a slogan, or a publicity campaign. It is whether a child sitting in the last classroom of a government school receives the dignity that the Constitution promises every citizen. A democracy should never be frightened by questions asked on behalf of children. Fix the school. Listen to the children. Answer the citizens.
