Relevance for Banking, SSC & RBI Grade B exams: Polity & Governance
The Ministry of Coal launched a special campaign on October 6, 2026, under ‘Special Campaign 6’ to focus on e-waste management across its 74 field offices, involving 2,152 employees. The initiative, aligned with DARPG guidelines, included a day-long hybrid workshop chaired by a Joint Secretary, where experts from the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) briefed officials on systematic e-waste segregation and disposal. The campaign also featured quiz competitions and established e-waste kiosks in field offices to promote responsible electronic waste handling, reflecting the government’s push for sustainable governance and administrative reforms.
For banking and SSC aspirants, this initiative highlights the intersection of environmental governance and public sector efficiency, a theme increasingly relevant in exams like RBI Grade B and UPSC. The campaign underscores the role of administrative reforms in addressing ecological challenges, which may appear in polity or governance sections. SSC exams often test awareness of government schemes and their socio-economic implications, while banking exams may link such initiatives to corporate social responsibility (CSR) or sustainable development goals (SDGs), making it a pertinent current-affairs topic for aspirants.
