In which of these areas did DRDO report achieving 100 per cent of its targets under Special Campaign 6.0?
- A.Recruitment of scientists
- B.Missile test schedules
- C.Pending public grievances and Parliamentary Assurances
- D.Export clearances
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is pending public grievances and Parliamentary Assurances. DRDO reported clearing all of its targets on three fronts: public grievances awaiting redressal, Parliamentary Assurances, and references that pass between ministries. These are the standard heads on which the Special Campaign for Disposal of Pending Matters measures a participating office, which is why they are the ones reported. Options A, B and D describe regular work of a defence research organisation but they are not heads of pendency under this campaign and no such claim was made. The campaign also covered the physical side of the organisation, with cleanliness and space-optimisation drives across campuses, residential complexes and research testing ranges, the weeding out of about 20,000 files, the digitisation of roughly 5 lakh pages and revenue of Rs 35 lakh from scrap disposal.
