Which department is the nodal department for Special Campaign 6.0?
- A.Department of Expenditure
- B.Department of Personnel and Training
- C.Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances
- D.Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances, under the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, which runs the campaign and monitors it on a dedicated portal. Its Secretary, Nivedita Shukla Verma, chaired the second meeting of nodal officers, where Additional Secretary Puneet Yadav presented the progress of the drive. Option A handles public expenditure and budgetary matters and has no such role. Option B is a plausible distractor because it sits in the same ministry and deals with service matters, but the cleanliness and pending matters campaign is not its charge. Option D promotes industry and trade and is unrelated. A useful memory hook is that the same department also brings out the collection of best practices during Good Governance Week.
