The Department of Defence Production has successfully completed Special Campaign 6.0, a government-wide initiative conducted in two phases from 15th to 31st October 2026 (Preparatory Phase) and 2nd to 31st October 2026 (Implementation Phase). The campaign aimed to institutionalize Swachhata (cleanliness) and minimize pendency across departmental offices, with special emphasis on effective collection, segregation and disposal of e-waste alongside administrative improvements including office upkeep, space utilization, and disposal of scrap and redundant materials.
The campaign achieved substantial results compared to the previous Campaign 5.0, with significant improvements across multiple metrics. Physical file review increased from 30,000 to 45,000 files, while weeding out of old physical files jumped from 27,000 to 43,952. Digital record management showed remarkable progress with e-file reviews surging from 2,000 to 55,000 and e-file weeding increasing from 1,890 to 51,230.
Space optimization efforts resulted in 19.35 lakh square feet of space freed by disposing scrap and unused items, up from 17.42 lakh square feet in the previous campaign. Revenue generation from scrap and e-waste disposal increased to Rs. 22.19 crore from Rs. 15.62 crore. Public grievance resolution improved significantly with 136 grievances disposed compared to 50 previously, though public grievance appeals disposed decreased from 87 to 17. VIP/MP reference disposals remained consistent at 11 (versus 13 previously), while IMC reference disposals increased from 2 to 3.
The department remains committed to sustaining the objectives of Special Campaign 6.0 through continued efforts toward Swachhata, efficient pendency disposal, and workplace environment improvements.
