During the campaign preparations, the Joint Secretary (Pension) inspected identified sites within the office premises and instructed officials to achieve the targets. Additionally, under the 'Swachhata Hi Seva' program, a plantation drive will be organized on October 1, 2026, at the CSOI Vinay Marg Sports Complex in New Delhi.
