✎ Special Campaign 5.0 by Education Ministry reviewed 95% physical and 87.5% e-files, freeing space and reducing pending cases ahead of Campaign 6.0.
Relevance for Banking, SSC & RBI Grade B exams: Polity & Governance
The Union Education Ministry’s Department of Higher Education completed a comprehensive review under ‘Special Campaign 5.0’, covering 95.2% (2,04,859) physical files and 87.46% (62,564) e-files across 1,159 locations nationwide. This initiative significantly reduced pending cases, freed up 14.44 lakh sq. ft. of office space, and improved record management while generating ₹6.89 crore through scrap disposal. Additionally, 3,312 files were digitised, and 90,629 physical/electronic files were disposed of, reflecting a strong push toward digital governance and administrative efficiency. These efforts align with broader goals of transparency and accountability in public administration, which are crucial for aspirants preparing for exams like RBI Grade B and SSC, where governance and policy implementation are key assessment areas.
The upcoming ‘Special Campaign 6.0’ (2–31 October 2026) will further build on these reforms, focusing on eliminating pending grievances, enhancing office cleanliness, and managing e-waste effectively. With a two-phase structure—preparation (15–30 September) and implementation (2–31 October)—the campaign emphasizes systematic progress tracking and public engagement via #SpecialCampaign6. For banking exams like SBI PO and IBPS, such initiatives highlight the importance of digital transformation and administrative efficiency in public sector institutions. Similarly, for SSC aspirants, understanding these campaigns provides insights into government schemes and policy execution, which are often tested in general awareness sections.
