Ministry of Power Launches 'Special Campaign 6' to Focus on E-Waste Disposal and Resolution of Pending Cases

As part of the government's efforts to promote cleanliness in government offices and reduce the backlog of pending cases, the Ministry of Power (MoP) has launched 'Special Campaign 6'. Since 2021, the Ministry has been actively involved in such special campaigns across its subordinate offices, attached offices, autonomous bodies, and Central Public Sector Undertakings (CPSUs).

This year's campaign will place special emphasis on the effective collection, segregation, and disposal of e-waste, ensuring strict adherence to the guidelines of the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022. In addition to cleanliness, the campaign aims to ensure the timely disposal of pending matters related to references received from Members of Parliament, state governments, and the Prime Minister's Office (PMO), as well as inter-ministerial correspondence, parliamentary assurances, public grievances, and public grievance appeals (CPGRAMS).

The preparatory phase of the campaign commenced on September 15, 2026, and will continue until September 30, 2026. During this period, activities such as the identification of pending cases, mobilization of personnel, selection of cleanliness sites, review of records, space management planning, and identification of scrap materials will be conducted. Nodal officers have already been appointed across the Ministry's CPSUs and other organizations.

The implementation phase of 'Special Campaign 6' will run from October 2 to October 31, 2026, during which efforts will be made to achieve the goals set during the preparatory phase.

To review the preparations for the campaign, the Power Secretary chaired a meeting on September 16, 2026, attended by senior officials from the Ministry and CPSEs. The Power Secretary praised the efforts undertaken since 2021 and urged all stakeholders to establish new benchmarks for institutionalizing cleanliness and minimizing pending cases. He expressed hope that this initiative would contribute to improving the workplace environment, work culture, and the morale of the personnel.
