Special Campaign 6.0’s implementation phase begins October 2, 2026.
It runs until October 31.
The campaign focuses on cleanliness and reducing pending work in government offices.
It follows a preparation phase that began in mid-September.
Multiple ministries are participating.
The Ministry of Power’s version of the campaign aims to institutionalise Swachhata and minimise pendency within the department.
The Ministry of Textiles’ campaign is focused on clean offices, clearing pending files and reducing e-waste.
Special Campaign 6.0 is the sixth edition of this kind of nationwide government cleanliness and pendency-reduction drive.
Earlier editions of the Special Campaign have focused on similar goals of office space optimisation and file disposal.
Government offices participating in the campaign are expected to report on space freed up, files disposed of, and e-waste cleared.
The campaign is coordinated at the central level with individual ministries setting their own specific targets.
Improving public service delivery and administrative efficiency has been a stated goal of recent government reform efforts.
Government offices participating in past special campaigns have reported clearing large volumes of old files and unused equipment.
The campaign also encourages digitisation of records as part of reducing physical file backlogs.
Scientific disposal of e-waste, rather than informal dumping, is a specific target area flagged under the campaign.
Individual departments typically nominate nodal officers to coordinate their participation in the campaign.
Reviews of pendency and record management are also used internally by ministries to track administrative performance over time.
The implementation phase of Special Campaign 6.0 will run from October 2 to October 31, 2026.
It follows a preparation phase from September 15 to September 30, during which targets were identified.
An evaluation phase is scheduled for November 16 to November 30 to review outcomes.
The campaign focuses on cleanliness, reduction of pending work, record management and scientific e-waste disposal across government offices.
