Rajasthan Govt Orders To Paint Walls Of 20 Colleges Orange, Congress Alleges 'Politicising' Education

The Rajasthan College Education Commissionerate has directed 20 government colleges to get the front facade of their buildings and entry halls painted orange under the Kayakalp scheme. According to the Commissionerate, the move is to ensure a positive environment in the education institutes.

The Kayakalp scheme is a national initiative by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare to promote cleanliness, hygiene, and infection control in public healthcare facilities in India.

The opposition Congress slammed the move as an attempt to politicise educational institutions.

Joint Director (Planning), College Education Vijendra Kumar Sharma issued the order last month regarding the paint of front facade and entry halls of colleges under the scheme.
