The Department of Food and Public Distribution (DFPD) concluded Special Campaign 6, which ran from October 2 to October 31, 2026, with a preparatory phase from September 15 to September 30, 2026. The campaign focused on clearing pendency and promoting Swachhata (cleanliness) across office premises. Under the direction of Hon'ble Minister Shri Pralhad Joshi, who reviewed preparations with senior officers, the department achieved significant results across multiple parameters.
The campaign successfully resolved all identified pending matters including 3 State Government References, 54 MP References, 937 Public Grievances, and 1,479 Public Grievance Appeals. Additionally, 36,824 physical files were weeded and 8,026 e-files were closed. The cleanliness initiative included 2,977 campaigns that freed 60,788 square feet of office space and generated revenue of ₹4,168,772 from disposal of e-waste and obsolete materials.
A special deep cleaning drive was conducted on October 29, 2026, at Krishi Bhawan and across all DFPD offices including Food Corporation of India, Central Warehousing Corporation, Warehousing Development and Regulatory Authority, National Sugar Institute (Kanpur), Indian Grain Management and Research Institutes, Quality Control Cells, Central Grain Analysis Laboratory, and Directorate of Sugar and Vegetable Oil.
