Odisha government introduces new colour code for school buildings

BHUBANESWAR: The Odisha government has announced a new colour code for the buildings of all government schools, including PM SHRI schools across the state, an official statement said.

Odisha School Education Programme Authority (OSEPA) has written to all Collectors-cum-Chairman to adopt the uniform color code for all government schools.

Under BJD, all government schools across the state were painted green, including official buildings. However, after the new government took charge, the colour of official buildings changed to light orange frost with an orange-tan border.
