Relevance for Banking, SSC & RBI Grade B exams: Polity & Governance
The Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR) has achieved 100 percent of its targets under ‘Special Campaign 6’, which commenced on October 2, 2026, at the CSIR Headquarters/DSIR in New Delhi. Under the active guidance of Dr. (Smt.) N. Kalaiselvi, Director General of CSIR and Secretary of DSIR, and the strict supervision of Shri Surendra Pal Singh, Nodal Officer for ‘Special Campaign 6’ and Joint Secretary in DSIR, the department and its subordinate organizations, including the autonomous body CSIR, and Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) Central Electronics Limited (CEL) and NRDC, actively implemented the campaign. Key achievements include the 100 percent resolution of public grievances, references from Members of Parliament, and record management targets. The campaign also saw the review of 13,956 physical files against a target of 9,805, exceeding the goal by over 140 percent, and 3,274 e-files against a target of 2,493. Significant revenue of Rs. 76,36,047 was generated from scrap disposal, and 21,117 square feet of office space were cleared. Additionally, 100 percent of the targets for 150 cleanliness sites were achieved across DSIR, CEL, NRDC, CSIR, and its laboratories nationwide, with extensive social media promotion and 42 tweets to disseminate progress and achievements.
This successful implementation of ‘Special Campaign 6′ by DSIR, establishing a high standard of efficiency and sustainability in its offices, demonstrates the department’s continuous commitment to efficient, accountable, and citizen-centric governance. For Banking, SSC, and RBI Grade B aspirants, this highlights the government’s focus on administrative reforms, efficiency, and public service delivery, which are crucial aspects of governance. Questions related to government initiatives, departmental achievements, and public sector reforms often appear in the General Awareness and Current Affairs sections of these exams, testing candidates’ knowledge of administrative functioning and policy implementation. Furthermore, the mention of PSUs like CEL and NRDC, along with the revenue generated from scrap disposal, can be relevant for questions on public sector performance, financial management within government bodies, and sustainable practices, which are important for understanding the broader economic and administrative landscape.
