The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) has successfully concluded Special Campaign 6.0, conducted from October 2 to October 31, 2026, with active participation from its field offices across various States and Union Territories, as well as its attached, subordinate and autonomous offices.

The month-long campaign focused on improving workplace cleanliness, strengthening administrative efficiency, reducing pending matters, optimising office space and promoting environmental sustainability. Various activities were undertaken across the country, resulting in significant achievements in file management, public grievance disposal, waste management and cleanliness initiatives.

The progress of the campaign was regularly monitored by the Secretary, MoSPI, while achievements and activities were uploaded on a day-to-day basis to the Special Campaign for Disposal of Pending Matters (SCDPM) Portal.

Significant Progress in Disposal of Public Grievances

As part of its efforts to improve administrative responsiveness, the Ministry disposed of 48 public grievances and nine public grievance appeals during the campaign. Special attention was also given to addressing and expediting references received from Members of Parliament (MPs) and matters relating to Parliamentary Assurances.

These initiatives were aimed at ensuring timely responses, improving administrative accountability and reducing the backlog of pending matters.

Major Push Towards Efficient File Management

Improving records management and reducing unnecessary documentation remained another key focus area of Special Campaign 6.0.

During the campaign, the Ministry reviewed 718 physical files, out of which 433 were weeded out. In addition, 1,607 electronic files (e-files) were reviewed, with 1,522 e-files being closed.

The exercise is expected to contribute to more efficient record management, faster administrative processes and better utilisation of available office resources.

Nearly 2,000 Sq. Ft. of Office Space Freed

Under the space-management initiative, MoSPI freed a total of 1,982 square feet of office space through systematic disposal of unused materials and improved workplace organisation.
