After travelling extensively across Gadchiroli, the only good school for Tribal children I came across was the one started by Dr. Prakash Amte. It has a science lab, art studio, digital lab, library, and serves some of the healthiest meals I have ever seen being provided to students. This year 8 tribal students from this school cracked NEET and will become doctors. After visiting the school, I was left with one question: if Dr. Amte can build and run a school like this, why can’t the govt do the same despite having lakhs of crores at its disposal? Lastly, it was truly an honour to meet the Amte couple, who have dedicated nearly 50 years of their lives to serving Tribal communities and their children. Their work and commitment are truly inspiring.

This is a school for tribal children in Balaghat. Would our politicians ever send their own children to a school like this? The ASHA workers here have not received their salaries for last 6 months.

Found tap water in one of the Tribal villages in Balaghat where more than 30 kids have died. Would the Ministers and MLAs make their own children drink this water?

CJP Impact on Tribal Schools! New playground equipment has been installed at an Adivasi Ashram School in Dhanora Taluka, Maharashtra. If this could be done in just a few days, why did Adivasi students have to wait all these years for it? Hoping this won’t be a one-time thing and that tribal kids will continue to receive the much-needed facilities and support they need.
