The BJP, on the other hand, asserted that the Biju Janata Dal, during its 24-year rule till June 2024, had painted school buildings green and student uniforms were green and white, similar to the party's colour code.

The Odisha State Education Programme Authority (OSEPA) has recently issued an instruction to all district collectors about painting school buildings with 'Orange Tan-N' colour.
