- A.2 September to 30 September
- B.2 October to 31 October
- C.16 September to 30 September
- D.1 November to 30 November
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 2 October to 31 October. The implementation phase of Special Swachhata Campaign 6.0 runs through that month, and the figures reviewed by Dr Jitendra Singh were those recorded up to 19 October 2026, roughly the midpoint of the drive. By then the campaign had covered 8,34,509 cleanliness sites, earned Rs 491.28 crore from scrap disposal and freed 116 lakh square feet of office space, each of these ahead of the matching period of the previous edition. Option A and option C name September windows, which belong to the preparatory stage of such campaigns rather than to this implementation phase. Option D places the campaign in November, after it has already closed. Candidates should remember both the start and the closing date of the campaign, since the review figures are always dated within this window.
