Special Campaign 6.0 to Run from 2 to 31 October 2026

The correct answer is 2 to 31 October 2026. Special Campaign 6.0 is undertaken across the Government of India in two stages, and this is the window for the implementation phase. Option A is wrong because those dates belong to the preparatory phase, during which offices mobilise staff, list pending references, mark out sites for cleanliness drives and plan the disposal of scrap and electronic waste. Options C and D are wrong because the campaign is neither a November nor a January exercise in this edition. The drive rests on two themes, cleanliness and the reduction of pendency, and this year it also carries a distinct emphasis on gathering, separating and disposing of electronic waste. Learn both phases together, since a question may ask for either one.

The correct answer is the collection, segregation and disposal of e-waste. The campaign has always worked on cleanliness and the clearing of pending matters, and in this edition the government has laid special stress on handling electronic waste effectively. Options A, C and D name measures that offices may well take, but none of them is the fresh emphasis announced for this campaign. The government has also directed attention to field and outstation offices that provide services to the public, besides Ministries and Departments, their attached and subordinate offices, autonomous bodies and public sector undertakings. The Ministry of Tourism accordingly listed the identification of measures for collecting and segregating electronic waste among its preparatory activities, along with space management and record management.

The correct answer is 92,749 square feet, the space the Ministry of Tourism reported as freed during the previous edition of the campaign. The other options only shuffle the digits of that figure and have no basis in the Ministry's account. The same edition brought in 12.69 lakh rupees through the disposal of scrap. On the paperwork side, 4,700 physical files were weeded out and 1,100 electronic files were closed, while 413 Swachhata Campaign programmes were conducted in different parts of the country. These numbers matter because the Ministry has said it wants to build on them in the sixth edition and tighten cleanliness, record management and the clearing of pendency further. Candidates should learn the space figure along with the scrap earnings.

The correct answer is 413. The Ministry of Tourism held that many Swachhata Campaign programmes across the country during the fifth edition of the Special Campaign, and the other three options are simply nearby numbers with no basis. Alongside the programmes the Ministry recorded 92,749 square feet of space freed and earnings of 12.69 lakh rupees from the disposal of scrap, while 4,700 physical files were weeded out and 1,100 electronic files closed. These results form the base on which the Ministry is planning Special Campaign 6.0, whose implementation phase runs from 2 to 31 October 2026 after a preparatory phase from 15 to 30 September 2026. The preparatory meeting for the Ministry was convened on 16 September 2026.
