The full story, from the sources›

Article 19(1)(a) of the Constitution guarantees freedom of expression to every citizen. The Supreme Court has consistently clarified that this freedom necessarily includes the right to question authority, criticise those in power, and scrutinise the actions of government. - Countercurrents (2026-01-21) crumbling infrastructure, overcrowded classrooms, and schools so starved of resources that even blackboards and functional toilets cannot be taken for granted... India has more than one lakh single-teacher schools, serving more than 33 lakh students. - The Hindu (2026-07-04) This is not an isolated case. Many schools, especially in rural India, are starved of funding and in disrepair. India spends only 4.1% of its GDP on education... Named #SchoolThikKaro (#FixTheSchool), the CJPs latest campaign is aimed at highlighting the crumbling infrastructure in government schools and pressuring authorities into addressing it. - BBC News (2026-08-21)
