New Delhi, Nov 10 (UNI) The Department of Defence Production has reviewed 45,000 physical files and 55,000 e-files, weeded out more than 95,000 obsolete records and generated revenue of Rs 22.19 crore through the disposal of scrap and e-waste as part of the Centre's Special Campaign 6.0.
The campaign, aimed at institutionalising cleanliness, reducing administrative pendency and improving workplace efficiency, also resulted in freeing up 19.35 lakh square feet of office space through the disposal of scrap and unused materials.
According to the Ministry of Defence, the department recorded a substantial increase in its performance compared to Special Campaign 5.0, particularly in the review and disposal of electronic records. The number of e-files reviewed jumped from 2,000 in the previous campaign to 55,000 this year, while 51,230 e-files were weeded out against 1,890 earlier.
Similarly, 45,000 physical files were reviewed during the latest campaign, compared to 30,000 in Special Campaign 5.0. The department also disposed of 43,952 old physical files, significantly higher than the 27,000 cleared during the previous edition.
The campaign also yielded financial and infrastructural gains. Revenue from the disposal of scrap and e-waste increased to Rs 22.19 crore from Rs 15.62 crore in the previous campaign, while the space recovered rose from 17.42 lakh square feet to 19.35 lakh square feet.
On the public grievance front, the department disposed of 136 public grievances during the campaign, against 50 in the previous edition. It also resolved 17 public grievance appeals, compared to 87 earlier.
Additionally, 11 VIP/MP references and three Inter-Ministerial Committee (IMC) references were disposed of during the campaign.
The Special Campaign 6.0 was conducted in two phases, with the preparatory phase scheduled from October 15 to 31 and the implementation phase from October 2 to 31, 2026, according to the department.
This year's exercise placed particular emphasis on the collection, segregation and scientific disposal of e-waste, besides improving cleanliness and maintenance of office premises, optimising available space and removing redundant materials.
Systematic record management and the time-bound disposal of pending files, references and other administrative matters were also among the key focus areas.
The Department of Defence Production said it would continue efforts to sustain the campaign's objectives through improved cleanliness, faster disposal of pending matters, efficient utilisation of office space and a better workplace environment.
