Rajasthan government orders new building for Rampura school after CJP visit turns violent

Following protests and an attack on activists, the Rajasthan government has ordered the construction of a new school building in Rampura, a move described by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) as a significant victory. The CJP's national spokesperson, Ashutosh Ranka, reported that CJP workers were assaulted by a group of individuals while visiting a government school in Rampura Kanwarpura village, located in Jaipur's Bagru Assembly constituency.

The government order, issued late Saturday night, mandates that construction of the new school building will commence on September 1, 2026. The initiative aims to provide students with a safe and improved learning environment. Financial approval for ₹12 lakh has been secured from the District Mineral Foundation Trust (DMFT), with an additional ₹6 lakh sanctioned from the MLA fund, bringing the total allocation for the new building to ₹18 lakh.

This development is part of a larger infrastructure overhaul plan for government schools across Rajasthan. The Chief Minister's Office announced a three-year roadmap, spanning 2026-27 to 2028-29, with an estimated expenditure of ₹12,500 crore. This plan seeks to transform government schools into safe, well-equipped, modern, inclusive, and technology-enabled learning centers across all 41 districts.

The roadmap includes provisions for new school buildings, classrooms, major repairs, and new toilet complexes. The government also stated that school development works worth ₹3,006.34 crore have either been approved or are in various stages of tendering and implementation. This includes works for new school buildings, classrooms, and significant allocations for major repairs and safety-related improvements, alongside equipping schools with modern technology by December 2026.
