✎ MSME Special Campaign 6.0 focuses on cleanliness, e-waste disposal, and grievance redressal in government offices from Oct 2026.
Relevance for Banking, SSC & RBI Grade B exams: Polity & Governance
The Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) is gearing up for *Special Campaign 6.0*, scheduled from 2 to 31 October 2026, under the aegis of the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances (DARPG). Aimed at enhancing cleanliness in government offices and improving citizens’ experience, this edition will prioritize effective collection, segregation, and disposal of e-waste in compliance with the *E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022*. The campaign will target all ministries, departments, their attached and subordinate offices, autonomous bodies, public sector undertakings, and regional/field offices interfacing directly with the public. During the preparation phase (15–30 September 2026), the ministry is raising awareness at the grassroots level and finalizing an action plan, while the implementation phase will focus on sanitation, e-waste management, digitization, record sorting, space optimization, and disposal of pending parliamentary references, state government references, parliamentary assurances, PMO references, and public grievances.
For aspirants of Bank PO, IBPS, SBI, RBI Grade B, and SSC exams, this initiative holds significance as it reflects the government’s commitment to administrative reforms, transparency, and good governance—key themes often tested in exams. The campaign’s emphasis on digitization and record management aligns with the digital push in banking and governance, while its focus on public grievance redressal underscores the importance of citizen-centric policies. Additionally, the campaign’s outcomes, such as space optimization and e-waste disposal, highlight sustainable practices, a topic increasingly relevant in current affairs sections of competitive exams. The MSME’s performance in *Special Campaign 5.0*—where it resolved over 22,000 public grievances, cleared 1,167 sq. ft. of space, and disposed of ₹22.89 lakh worth of scrap—demonstrates the tangible benefits of such drives, making them a crucial study point for exam preparation.
