Which department of the Ministry of Finance reported its performance in Special Campaign 6 for institutionalising Swachhata and minimising pendency?
- A.Department of Economic Affairs
- B.Department of Investment and Public Asset Management
- C.Department of Financial Services
- D.Department of Expenditure
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Department of Investment and Public Asset Management, known by its short name DIPAM. It is this department of the Ministry of Finance that took part in Special Campaign 6, the drive for institutionalising Swachhata and minimising pendency in government offices, and whose results were made public. Its share of the drive ran from 2 October 2026 to 31 October 2026, with a preparatory phase before that from 15 to 30 September 2026. During the exercise all 3 targeted VIP references were disposed of, an Implementation Report on 1 of the 8 Parliamentary Assurances was forwarded to the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha Secretariats, two cleanliness campaigns were held and e-waste was scrapped through MSTC Limited for Rs 2,01,777. The other three choices, the Department of Economic Affairs, the Department of Financial Services and the Department of Expenditure, are also departments of the Ministry of Finance, which is what makes them plausible, but none of them is the department whose campaign results are described here. A further detail marks DIPAM out: it has no attached office, no subordinate office and no autonomous body under it, so the campaign was confined to the department itself.
