Relevance for Banking, SSC & RBI Grade B exams: Polity & Governance
The Department of Justice, under the Ministry of Law and Justice, has successfully completed Special Campaign 6, aimed at promoting cleanliness in government offices and reducing pending matters. Guided by the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances, this two-phase campaign ran from September 15 to October 31, 2026. The first phase focused on identifying pending matters, including public grievances, parliamentary assurances, references from MPs, state governments, and various ministries, alongside identifying areas for cleaning and beautification within the office premises. The second phase concentrated on resolving these identified pending matters and executing the cleaning and beautification efforts. All identified pending matters were resolved, and the auction of 49 items of e-waste and scrap through the GeM portal generated revenue of two lakh 41 thousand rupees, additionally freeing up approximately 300 square feet of space.
For Banking, SSC, and RBI Grade B aspirants, this development highlights the government’s commitment to administrative efficiency and good governance, a crucial aspect of Polity & Governance. Questions may arise regarding government initiatives for reducing pendency, promoting digital governance (e.g., use of the GeM portal and SCDPM portal), and revenue generation from waste management, all of which are relevant for General Awareness and Current Affairs sections. Furthermore, the successful completion of such campaigns reflects on the overall administrative machinery and its effectiveness, which can be a topic for descriptive papers or interview discussions, emphasizing the importance of timely resolution of public grievances and efficient resource management within public sector bodies.
