Department of Ex-Servicemen Welfare Emphasizes Cleanliness and Administrative Reforms Through 'Special Campaign 6.0'

The Department of Ex-Servicemen Welfare (DESW) of the Government of India is actively participating in the nationwide 'Special Campaign 6.0'. The primary objective of this campaign is to institutionalize cleanliness within government processes and reduce the number of pending cases. The campaign is being conducted from October 2 to October 31, 2026, focusing on enhancing workplace efficiency and developing a clean and sustainable office environment.

Under this campaign, the DESW and its associated offices are carrying out several critical activities. In the area of e-waste management, the department is prioritizing the proper collection, scientific segregation, and responsible disposal of waste in accordance with e-waste management rules. This initiative aims to promote the concept of 'Waste to Wealth'.

To upgrade the workplace, the department is organizing large-scale cleaning drives and voluntary labor (Shramdaan) programs to ensure that officers and visitors have access to an organized and clean environment. Simultaneously, administrative processes are being streamlined to provide better services to ex-servicemen, ensuring the rapid settlement of pending matters such as grievances and parliamentary assurances.

The department's goal is not merely short-term improvement but to make the principles of cleanliness a part of daily operations. To achieve this, long-term measures are being implemented to transform these initiatives into permanent administrative practices. Through these efforts, the Department of Ex-Servicemen Welfare is committed to establishing a more efficient, responsive, and clean governance system.
