A landmark initiative under the School Beautification and Transformation Campaign
Bikaner (shreyans baid)..Under the visionary leadership of the Hon’ble Chief Minister, Rajasthan has created a new chapter in its education history. As part of the School Beautification and Transformation Campaign, 91.7% of government schools across the state have been freshly painted and beautified. For the first time ever, during the festive season of Diwali, these schools shone in uniform colours and decorative lighting — transforming the landscape of public education.
The campaign aimed to complete painting and renovation work in all government schools ahead of Diwali. A unified colour code was finalized for primary, upper primary, and higher secondary schools. Detailed guidelines and implementation plans were issued under the directions of the Secretary, School Education, and the guidance of the Director of Secondary Education. A central control room was set up at the Directorate’s Building Section to ensure real-time monitoring, daily progress reviews, and strict accountability — enabling the state to execute this campaign in true mission mode.
This year, an additional milestone was introduced — illuminating government schools across Rajasthan during the Diwali festival. Beginning October 18, lighting arrangements were carried out in schools throughout the state, continuing until the end of the Diwali celebrations on October 23. For the first time in Rajasthan’s education history, school buildings across districts remained beautifully lit throughout the festive week, turning campuses into symbols of pride, celebration, and community spirit.
Balotra and Bharatpur districts achieved 100% completion of the campaign goals, setting an example for the rest of the state. Other districts are in the final stages of completion, with pending painting work scheduled to be completed by November 5.
As per the approved colour scheme
Primary and Upper Primary Schools: Coral Room (K243) – Light shade, Copper (0587) – Dark shade
Higher Secondary Schools: Coral Beach (7969) – Light shade, Copper (0587) – Dark shad
This uniform colour code has given government schools a clean, attractive, and dignified identity.
What makes this initiative truly remarkable is the scale of community participation. School Management Committees, local representatives, communities, and voluntary organisations came together to make this campaign a statewide movement.
Through this historic drive, Rajasthan has not only transformed the appearance of its schools but also set a national benchmark for other states to follow.
“ _This Diwali, Rajasthan’s schools were not just temples of learning — they became beacons of light and pride.”
