Relevance for Banking, SSC & RBI Grade B exams: Polity & Governance
The Department of Science and Technology (DST) has successfully implemented Special Campaign 5.0 from November 2025 to August 2026, achieving significant milestones in cleanliness, efficiency, and governance. Key accomplishments include disposal of 1,426 public grievances, 201 appeal grievances, 35 VIP references, and 17 inter-ministerial consultations, along with clearing 7,099 files (5,455 physical and 1,644 e-files). The campaign also freed 51,989 sq ft of office space, conducted 324 cleanliness drives, and generated ₹19.2 lakh in revenue through scientific waste disposal. These efforts align with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of institutionalizing cleanliness and enhancing administrative efficiency, setting a strong foundation for Special Campaign 6.0, which will run from 2 October to 31 October 2026.
For aspirants preparing for Bank PO, IBPS, SBI, RBI Grade B, and SSC exams, this initiative highlights the government’s focus on administrative reforms, digital governance, and efficiency in public offices—key themes often tested in polity and governance sections. Understanding such campaigns can help candidates grasp the importance of cleanliness drives, grievance redressal mechanisms, and record management in improving governance, which may appear in descriptive or objective questions. Additionally, awareness of such schemes reflects a candidate’s engagement with current affairs, a crucial aspect of competitive examinations.
