The Ministry of Power has launched “Special Campaign-6” to strengthen cleanliness practices and reduce the backlog of pending administrative matters across its offices and organisations. The campaign involves the ministry’s subordinate offices, attached offices, autonomous bodies and central public sector undertakings. This is part of a broader government-wide effort that the ministry has been participating in since 2021.
Key dates and focus areas
The Preparatory Phase runs from 15 September to 30 September 2026. During this period, the Ministry of Power and its organisations will identify pending work, prepare teams, select areas for cleaning drives, review documents, plan office space management and identify materials for disposal. Nodal officers have been named in each central public sector undertaking and organisation.
The Implementation Phase will run from 2 October to 31 October 2026. This is when the ministry will work towards achieving the targets set during preparation and focus on actual clearance of backlog.
The campaign places particular emphasis on proper collection, sorting and disposal of electronic waste in line with the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022. Beyond this, the drive targets clearing pending references from Members of Parliament, State Governments, other ministries, Parliamentary commitments, Prime Minister’s Office references, public complaints and appeals filed through the Centralized Public Grievance Redress and Monitoring System (CPGRAMS).
What this means for you
If you have filed a public grievance with any power ministry office or body, or submitted a complaint through CPGRAMS, this campaign may lead to faster resolution of your case during October 2026. The emphasis on reducing administrative backlog suggests the ministry is working to clear long-pending matters more quickly. The focus on proper electronic waste management also indicates these government organisations are moving towards more environmentally responsible practices.
