Special Campaign 6: MHA Targets Pendency and Swachhata

The Ministry of Home Affairs has said it is ready to take a full part in Special Campaign 6, the annual cleanliness and pendency drive run by the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances (DARPG). The campaign is built in two parts.

The two phases

• Preparation phase: 15 September to 30 September 2026.
• Implementation phase: 2 October to 31 October 2026.

What the Ministry will work on

The drive draws on the Prime Minister's idea of making Swachhata a permanent habit of government and cutting down what is left pending. Under the guidance of Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah, particular attention is to go to field and outstation offices, because those are the ones where the public actually walks in.

Within the Ministry the campaign is aimed at workplaces that are sustainable and easier on the environment, and at the same time at clearing several categories of pending matters: references from Members of Parliament, references from State Governments, Parliament Assurances, inter-ministerial consultations, public grievances and appeals, and better management of records. Implementation is being watched at the highest level in the Ministry, and the Central Armed Police Forces and Central Police Organizations have been briefed on it.

What the last round achieved

Between November 2025 and August 2026, the Ministry and its field and outstation offices reported:

How the data is collected

To keep the numbers accurate, the Ministry uses an intra-Ministry portal on which every Division, along with the Union Territories and Delhi Police, uploads its campaign data. That has made coordination across divisions and offices easier and has let the Ministry consolidate figures on time rather than chasing them office by office.
