The Odisha government has declared a new color code: Orange Tan-A for all school buildings, including PM-SHRI schools, throughout the state. The School and Mass Education Department decided to create a distinct and recognized visual identity for all government-run schools.
The new color code will be used throughout construction, repair, and restoration projects, and it will supersede all existing guidelines about school building color codes. In a letter to the Collectors, the OSEPA directed them to issue appropriate instructions to the field functionaries to ensure uniform adoption of the new colour code.
“It is requested to issue suitable instructions to concerned field functionaries for adoption of the approved colour code in all Govt Schools including PM SHRI schools, during construction, repair 8 renovation works. This order would be in supersession of all previous instructions related to colour code of school buildings,” the letter read.
Earlier, the Government also announced to change the dress code in all government schools.
