Ministry of Coal CPSEs Achieve Major Milestones under Special Campaign 6
Coal Ministry CPSEs have delivered significant outcomes under Special Campaign 6, a nationwide cleanliness and e-waste management initiative running until 31st October 2026. The campaign successfully unlocked office space, generated substantial revenue through waste management, and streamlined record-keeping processes.
Performance Against Targets
The CPSEs cleaned 1,696 sites against a target of 1,565 sites, covering 130.16 lakh square feet of area which exceeded the targeted cleaning area of 101.80 lakh square feet. Through efficient waste management, 16,158 metric tons of scrap was disposed against a projected target of 10,909 metric tons, generating revenue of ₹53,94,62,602.45 (approximately ₹53.94 crore) for the exchequer.
Administrative Efficiency Improvements
The campaign significantly enhanced administrative efficiency through rigorous record management and digitization efforts. Officials reviewed 78,635 physical files and e-files against a target of 59,593, with total files weeded out and closed reaching 70,093.
Best Practices and Initiatives
Several pioneering Swachhata initiatives were executed during the campaign. South Eastern Coalfields Limited fabricated an e-waste collection bin using recycled scrap materials for systematic collection and segregation of electronic waste. Coal India Headquarters modernized its canteen (renamed Cilantro) after nearly 10 years of renovation, upgrading infrastructure and ambience for a hygienic dining environment. Western Coalfields Limited provided educational support to over 160 tribal girl students at Mata Sabri Balika Awasiya Shiksha Parisar in Parasia, Chhindwara, and conducted interactive 'Waste to Wonder' workshops for children. Additionally, sanitary napkin vending machines were installed at CIL HQ to enhance menstrual hygiene access for women employees and visitors.
