The Department of Social Justice and Empowerment under the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment has commenced Special Campaign 6 for the year 2026. The campaign began with a preparatory phase starting September 17, 2026, followed by an implementation phase from October 2, 2026 onwards, which will continue until October 30, 2026. The campaign focuses on cleanliness, collective public participation, record upkeep, and minimizing pendency in government offices.
On September 17, 2026, Secretary Sudhansh Pant administered the Swachhata Pledge to officers and officials of all ranks, including those posted at other locations who participated from their respective workplaces. The campaign emphasizes community participation as central to building clean workplaces and making commitments toward record management.
A Shramdaan activity was organized at the Mahila Imdad Committee in Paharganj, Delhi on October 1, 2026, led by Minister of State B.L. Verma, who actively participated in the cleanliness activities. Verma emphasized the importance of Jan Bhagidari (public participation) in sustaining the cleanliness movement and appealed to make Swachhata an integral part of daily routine. Participants undertook cleanliness and sanitation activities in and around the premises.
The Department also organized an extempore competition on the theme of Swachhata Initiative on September 28, 2026, to promote awareness about cleanliness, record management, file weeding, and recording. The competition witnessed enthusiastic participation from senior officers who shared their perspectives on various aspects of Swachhata. The initiative aims to encourage active participation and strengthen the spirit of cleanliness and dignity among government officials and stakeholders.
The Department continues to support initiatives that promote cleanliness, minimize pendency, and improve record management as collective responsibilities, working toward the broader vision of Swachh Bharat and Viksit Bharat. This content may not be financially relevant.
