While the usual crowd screams about india becoming a superpower and “competing with China,” the real picture is gut-wrenching. Over 60,000 government schools have been shut down in just 12 years. And what’s left of the rest? A viral photo that should shame every leader: little kids sitting on the bare ground under a tree, blackboard propped beside them, learning in conditions that look straight out of a poverty documentary.


- **The Shutdown Scandal:** More than 60,000 public schools simply wiped off the map in 12 years. Not upgraded. Not fixed. Closed. Millions of poor kids now have nowhere to go.


- **Niti Aayog’s Damning Numbers:** Over 1 lakh government schools still have zero electricity. Nearly 98,500 have no girls’ toilets. Basic dignity? Forget it. This is the daily reality for the majority.


- **The Photo That Hurts:** Children huddled on a concrete ledge under a tree, bags scattered, no classroom, no fans, no proper setup. This is “education” for the 90%.


- **Elite 10% vs Everyone Else:** The top 10% are fine in private schools and foreign universities. But the 90% who actually make up India? They’re getting nothing that prepares them for the real world.


- **Viksit Bharat Exposed:** India’s development model has become one simple game – corner as much wealth and opportunity as fast as possible for the top 10%. The rest are left to rot. Competing with China? A horrible, delusional joke.


This isn’t progress. This is deliberate, systematic neglect of the very foundation that should lift the nation. Without fixing the schools, the dream of a developed india stays exactly that – a dream. The 90% deserve better.
