CJP’s Saurav Das rebuffed Mohandas Pai’s suggestion that volunteers inspect schools, labeling the idea boring and disconnected from ground realities after alleging an attack on volunteers in Jaipur.
CJP’s senior official Saurav Das publicly rejected a proposal by Mohandas Pai that volunteers should be sent to inspect schools, calling the suggestion “boring, unconnected from reality.” Das made the remarks after the CJP claimed its volunteers were assaulted while traveling to a school in Jaipur.
In a statement, Das said the idea of sending volunteers to audit schools was out of touch with the challenges faced on the ground, and that such exercises would add little value to improving education quality.
Mohandas Pai, a prominent education entrepreneur, had earlier urged the CJP to launch school‑inspection missions, arguing that independent checks could raise standards. He responded to Das’s criticism by emphasizing the need for transparent oversight.
The exchange highlights a growing debate in Rajasthan over how best to monitor and enhance school performance, with officials on both sides asserting differing views on the practicality of volunteer‑led inspections.
