The Ministry of Steel and its government-run companies will launch Special Campaign 6.0 starting October 2, 2026, with electronic waste management as a central focus. The month-long initiative aims to improve cleanliness, cut through administrative delays, and dispose of outdated materials across all ministry offices and facilities. The drive builds on work completed during similar campaigns in previous years.
Campaign Details and Focus Areas
Special Campaign 6.0 will run through October 31, 2026, and is divided into two phases. A preparation phase from September 15 to 30 will set targets and prepare the ground. The actual implementation phase runs from October 2 to 31, with measurable results expected.
The campaign will concentrate on four main areas:
- E-Waste Management: Proper collection and separation of electronic waste according to the E-waste (Management) Rules, 2022
- Mechanised Cleaning: Adoption of modern cleaning equipment and methods to maintain hygiene in office spaces and facilities
- Clearing Pending Work: Resolving old administrative matters sent by the Prime Minister’s Office, state governments, Parliament, and other officials, while also disposing of outdated files and records
- Public Awareness: Using online channels and community outreach to encourage participation in cleanliness activities
During the previous campaign in October 2025, the ministry cleared large numbers of old files, optimized office space, and streamlined the scrap disposal process. Officials say these improvements have been maintained since then through ongoing efforts to handle complaints faster and manage records more systematically.
What This Means for You
If you work in a government office or steel sector public company, expect renewed focus on maintaining cleanliness and organization at your workplace. The drive targets reduction of old paperwork and better handling of electronic waste, which could mean changes to how your office manages equipment and records. For citizens seeking government services from the Ministry of Steel, the clearing of pending matters may speed up decisions on applications and requests that have been waiting for resolution.
