Special Campaign 6.0 Ends With 51,090 Grievances Disposed

Two ministries placed on record on 11 November 2026 what they achieved under Special Campaign 6.0, the government-wide drive to make Swachhata a routine practice in offices and to clear files and complaints that had been left pending. The campaign ran from 2 October to 31 October 2026.

Women and Child Development ministry

The Ministry of Women and Child Development, along with every autonomous and statutory body under it, drew up action plans and targets before the drive began. States and Union Territories then held a dedicated one-day event on 30 October 2026. Cleanliness work was taken up at 12,08,313 field institutions across the country, which include Anganwadi Centres, Child Care Institutions, Shakti Sadans, Sakhi Niwas and creches. During that single day 51,090 grievances were settled, and 5,51,653 other activities, such as plantation drives and handwash messages for beneficiaries, were carried out at these institutions.

Complaints under the ministry's schemes reach it through the POSHAN Tracker, the PMMVY portal and CPGRAMS, and officials held Grievance Redressal Chaupals and e-Chaupals to settle them. Mizoram was among the States where these chaupals were organised. The ministry also honoured Safai Mitras and sanitation workers with new uniforms and awards for keeping campuses clean through the year.

Drinking Water and Sanitation department

The Department of Drinking Water and Sanitation under the Ministry of Jal Shakti ran its own version of the campaign, aimed at institutionalising Swachhata and reducing pendency in government offices. A Swachhata Pledge and a Swachhata Quiz were held on 30 September 2026, and a Shramdaan at Kalindi Kunj on 1 October 2026 was led by the Minister of Jal Shakti. A Safai Mitra Samman ceremony with a health camp for sanitation workers followed on 8 October 2026, a painting competition on the Swachhata theme on 15 October 2026, and a cleanliness drive at the Sanitation Park in the CGO Complex on 28 October 2026.

Pendency cleared in the department

The department said the work improved record management and administrative efficiency, and that digital and social media platforms were used to widen the campaign's reach. For aspirants the campaign is a standard source of questions on governance reform, so the window of 2 to 31 October 2026 and the headline figures of 12,08,313 institutions and 51,090 grievances are the details to carry into the examination hall.
