Gautam Buddh Nagar DBEO Rejects CJP Spokesperson Saurav Das's Noida School Closure Statement

CJP spokesperson Saurav Das visited government schools in Noida on September 15 as part of the party’s ongoing 'School Theek Karo' campaign. During his visit, Das inspected local educational facilities to evaluate infrastructure and student learning conditions. Following the inspection, he took to social media to claim that the district administration had ordered an immediate closure of all government schools in Gautam Buddh Nagar in response to their audit.

Das further alleged that administration officials tried to block their efforts by calling school authorities multiple times to restrict entry. He claimed that teachers were cooperative while classes were underway, but noted that several other schools they attempted to visit were unexpectedly shut. These statements quickly circulated online, creating significant buzz regarding administrative transparency and the actual operational status of educational institutions in a prominent district like Noida.

The Goals of the 'School Theek Karo' Campaign

The 'School Theek Karo' campaign led by the Cockroach Janta Party focuses on auditing government educational institutions to understand the ground realities of student life. By visiting classrooms, party representatives aim to highlight infrastructure challenges, teacher presence, and overall resource availability. Das stated that the initiative is designed to bring transparency and push for better standards in public education systems across Uttar Pradesh.

In addition to direct audits, Das made a public appeal to young people across the state to take up similar responsibilities. He encouraged local youth to inspect schools in their neighborhoods to independently verify educational standards and infrastructure conditions. The campaign organizers believe that active community participation and youth involvement are essential tools for driving meaningful improvements in government-run schools.
