Special Campaign 6 in central ministries is being conducted under the aegis of which department?
- A.Department of Expenditure
- B.Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances
- C.Department of Personnel and Training
- D.Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances, commonly written as DARPG. It is the nodal department for Special Campaign 6, fixing targets activity by activity and collecting what each ministry achieves, and the photographs taken before and after each cleanliness drive are uploaded to its portal. Option A is wrong because the Department of Expenditure deals with government spending and has no role in this drive. Option C is wrong because the Department of Personnel and Training handles service matters and recruitment policy, which is a different subject even though it belongs to the same ministry family. Option D is wrong because industry promotion is unrelated to office cleanliness and pending files. Aspirants should remember DARPG as the department behind these annual special campaigns, since questions on them usually test the nodal agency.
