Ministry of Education Announces Special Cleanliness Campaign

New Delhi- The Department of School Education & Literacy (DoSE&L), Ministry of Education, has prepared for the upcoming Special Campaign 4.0, announced by the Government of India. The campaign is scheduled to run from October 2 to 31, 2024, with a focus on improving cleanliness and reducing pendency in government offices.

The Ministry of Education has taken this initiative to improve the overall efficiency of government operations and create a cleaner and more organized workspace environment. One of the significant goals of the campaign is to raise awareness about environmental sustainability. To achieve this, the department will implement various green initiatives such as the integration of Eco Clubs for Mission LiFE in schools.

The campaign will be executed in two phases: a preparatory phase from September 16 to 30, 2024, and an implementation phase from October 2 to 31, 2024. During the preparatory phase, all the bureaus and autonomous bodies under the DoSE&L have been asked to set target vis-a-vis various parameters and identify the field units/outstation offices where the Swachhata campaign will be conducted. The implementation phase will focus on addressing pending references, disposal of references from MPs, PMO, state governments, inter-ministerial references, parliamentary assurances, public grievances and appeals, simplification of rules/processes, record management, disposal of scrap and redundant items, beautification of offices, and the conduction of cleanliness campaigns.

The progress of the campaign will be monitored through a dedicated Google tracker, and daily updates will be provided from the participating offices. The Campaign will be promoted through social media using the hashtag #SpecialCampaign4.0. 0. The DoSE&L, Ministry of Education, urges all its autonomous bodies to actively participate in this initiative and make the government offices more cleaner and more efficient.
