✎ Special Campaign 6.0 aims to sustain cleanliness, efficiency, and accountability in governance from 2 Oct 2026.
Relevance for Banking, SSC & RBI Grade B exams: Polity & Governance
The Department of Science and Technology (DST) has successfully extended Special Campaign 5.0 from November 2025 to August 2026, aligning with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of institutionalizing cleanliness and enhancing efficiency in public administration. Under this campaign, DST resolved 1,426 public grievances, 201 grievance appeals, 35 VIP references, and 17 inter-ministerial consultations, while clearing 7,099 files—including 5,455 physical and 1,644 e-files. Additionally, it conducted 324 cleanliness drives, freed up 51,989 sq. ft. of office space, and generated ₹19.2 lakh in revenue through scientific disposal of waste. These achievements underscore DST’s commitment to reducing pendency, improving record management, and promoting accountability, setting a strong foundation for Special Campaign 6.0, which will run from 2 October to 31 October 2026.
For aspirants preparing for banking exams like IBPS, SBI PO, and RBI Grade B, as well as SSC examinations, this initiative highlights the government’s focus on governance reforms, efficiency in public administration, and digital transformation—key themes often tested in polity and governance sections. The campaign’s emphasis on grievance redressal, file disposal, and revenue generation reflects broader administrative priorities that candidates should be aware of, as such reforms impact policy implementation and economic governance. Understanding these initiatives can provide valuable context for questions related to government schemes, administrative efficiency, and policy execution in competitive exams.
