A recent audit in Rajasthan uncovered that 611 government schools are functioning without proper school buildings, prompting criticism from the Chief Justice of India.
A state‑wide audit released this week revealed that 611 government‑run schools in Rajasthan are operating without dedicated school buildings, forcing classes to be held in temporary or makeshift structures. The findings highlight a long‑standing infrastructure gap in the state's education system.
The report has drawn sharp rebuke from the Chief Justice of India, who has publicly urged the Rajasthan administration to address the shortfall urgently. The CJP’s comments have added pressure on state officials to accelerate remedial measures.
Education officials in Jaipur have acknowledged the audit’s concerns and indicated that a plan to construct or refurbish school facilities is under review, though no specific timeline has been announced. Stakeholders fear that continued lack of proper classrooms could affect learning outcomes for thousands of students across the state.
