Textile Committee Earns Rs 4,38,444 in Special Campaign 6.0

The Ministry of Textiles set out on 29 October 2026 what the Textile Committee has achieved under Special Campaign 6.0, the government's annual drive on office cleanliness and pendency, which runs from 2 to 31 October 2026. The sale of scrap alone brought the Committee revenue of Rs 4,38,444.

What the campaign is for

Special Campaign 6.0 asks every government office to work on four things: cleanliness inside the institution, keeping records in order, clearing matters that have been left pending, and adopting practices that are sustainable. The Textile Committee took part by tidying its workplace, freeing up office space, going through both paper and electronic records, and disposing of material it no longer needs, including electronic waste, in the manner the rules prescribe.

Week by week

How each week went

In the opening week the record racks were cleaned and rearranged, files were put in a sequence that makes them easy to find and quick to pull out, and obsolete material was taken away so the space it occupied could be used again. Staff were also told why storage needs to be systematic and why records need looking after at regular intervals. During the second week scrap, cardboard boxes, old cartons and items beyond repair were identified and removed from the premises; unserviceable goods were sorted and disposed of under the existing procedure, and every regional office of the Committee ran a similar drive.

The third week and its revenue

The third week carried the largest disposal exercise. Packing material, waste plastic and leftover samples were cleared out, and this is where the figure of Rs 4,38,444 came from. The ministry presented the money as a sign that discarded material can still be put to productive use while waste is managed responsibly and office space is used better.

What the ministry concluded

Over the three weeks the drive improved cleanliness, made better use of available space and tightened record keeping through the combined effort of officers and staff. The ministry has asked its attached offices, subordinate organisations and associated institutions to join Special Campaign 6.0 actively and to carry the habits formed during it beyond the campaign period, in the interest of good governance and efficient public administration.
