The Department of Agricultural Research and Education (DARE) and Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) will undertake Special Campaign 6.0 from October 2 to October 31, 2026, as part of the Government of India's initiative focused on Swachhata (cleanliness) and reducing pendency in government offices.
Building on the outcomes of Special Campaign 5.0, DARE/ICAR demonstrated significant achievements in public grievance redressal, disposing of the maximum number of Public Grievances and Public Grievance Appeals during the previous campaign. The ministry undertook sustained efforts for monthly disposal of pending references and strengthened timely redressal systems.
The campaign activities emphasized health, food safety, waste-to-wealth initiatives, hygiene and sanitation, tree plantation, office premises enhancement, environment-friendly practices, beautification, space management, and conservation measures. Awareness was created across all DARE/ICAR branches nationwide.
DARE/ICAR advanced paperless functioning through the e-File system, achieving targets for disposal of physical files and review and closure of e-Files as part of record-management practices. These efforts resulted in freeing up office space and disposal of accumulated scrap and waste.
For Special Campaign 6.0, DARE/ICAR commits to strengthening efforts with continued emphasis on cleanliness, efficient record management, pendency reduction, paperless functioning, and better utilization of office spaces.
