Special Campaign 6 to Run from 2 to 31 October 2026

The correct answer is 2 to 31 October 2026. The Department of Food and Public Distribution stated that it is monitoring preparatory activities for the effective implementation of Special Campaign 6 during exactly this month-long window. Option A names the preparatory phase, not the campaign: during those two weeks the Department and its offices reviewed physical and electronic files and identified e-waste, scrap and unserviceable items for disposal. Options B and D give a shorter window and a later month, neither of which matches the announcement. For the examination, keep the two dates apart in your memory, because questions are often set on whether a given span is the preparation period or the campaign itself, and the campaign is the longer one that begins in the first week of October.

The correct answer is the collection, segregation and disposal of e-waste. The Department said that this year special focus is being given to electronic waste, along with the standing objectives of cleanliness, disposal of pending matters and better use of office space, and it identified a specific number of e-waste items for disposal during the preparatory phase. Option B is wrong because nodal officers were not recruited for the drive; they already exist and are being used to review progress in regular meetings. Option C is wrong because building warehouses is not part of this administrative drive, even though warehousing organisations are participating in it. Option D concerns agricultural price policy, which has nothing to do with a campaign on pendency, record management and waste disposal.

The correct answer is the Food Corporation of India. The Department said that its attached and subordinate offices and public sector undertakings are taking part, and it named the Food Corporation of India, the Central Warehousing Corporation and the Warehousing Development and Regulatory Authority among them. All three work in the field of foodgrain procurement, storage and warehousing regulation, which is why they sit under this Department. Option A, the National Highways Authority of India, works under the road transport ministry. Option C, the Airports Authority of India, comes under civil aviation. Option D, the Indian Space Research Organisation, is the national space agency under the Department of Space. None of these three falls within the food and public distribution portfolio, so they are not part of this departmental drive.
