The Department of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare (DA&FW) successfully implemented Special Campaign 6 across two phases: preparatory phase from September 16-30, 2026, and implementation phase from October 2-31, 2026. The campaign focused on institutionalizing Swachhata (cleanliness) and reducing pendency in government offices through nationwide cleanliness drives, e-waste disposal, plantation activities, and disposal of pending matters.
On October 21, 2026, DA&FW observed a dedicated day for intensive cleanliness and administrative efficiency drive across the country. The campaign involved all attached/subordinate offices and field units of DA&FW. Key activities included a nationwide plantation drive with over 2,000 plants planted across the country, cleanliness campaigns that covered 1,179 sites against a target of 999 sites, and innovative waste-to-wealth models showcased by various field offices including CFMTTI (Budni), MANAGE (Hyderabad), NRFMTTI (Hisar), and NERFMTTI (Biswanath Chariali).
The Secretary (DA&FW) visited National Seeds Corporation in New Delhi to review campaign activities, including plantation drive, flagging off trucks for scrap and e-waste disposal through authorized recyclers, and felicitation of sanitation staff. The visit included inspection of rooftop solar power facility (84 kW capacity) and seed processing and packing unit, along with innovative initiatives such as bird feed preparation using non-seed materials and micro greens from unsold seeds.
Campaign achievements significantly exceeded targets in several areas: disposal of 63,952 public grievances against a target of 33,821, disposal of 3733 e-waste articles against target of 3298, review of 43,411 physical files against target of 39,347, and weeding out of 26,379 physical files. The campaign freed 13,553 square feet of office space and generated revenue of ₹32,19,644 through scrap disposal. Additional achievements included disposal of 177 pending references from MPs (target 179), 338 pending PG appeals, 09 references from State Governments (target 07), 07 PMO references (target 06), and 645 social media posts.
The Special Campaign 6 has resulted in improved cleanliness, reduced pendency, disposal of freed office space, proper disposal of scrap and e-waste, and promotion of waste-to-wealth initiatives across DA&FW and its attached, subordinate and field offices.
