Relevance for Banking, SSC & RBI Grade B exams: Polity & Governance
The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has intensified its efforts under ‘Special Campaign 6.0’ to manage electronic waste (e-waste) more effectively by identifying 5,337 obsolete e-waste items for disposal. These items, including outdated electronic equipment, are being auctioned to generate revenue while optimizing office space, with ₹11,40,220 earned so far and nearly 600 sq. ft. of space freed up. The campaign aligns with the broader ‘Special Campaign for Disposal of Pending Matters 6.0’ (SCDPM 6), emphasizing systematic identification, segregation, and responsible disposal of e-waste to promote cleaner and more efficient administrative practices.
For aspirants preparing for Bank PO, IBPS, SBI, RBI Grade B, and SSC exams, this initiative highlights the government’s commitment to sustainable governance and resource efficiency, a key theme in polity and governance sections. Questions may focus on the role of ministries in waste management, the significance of e-waste recycling, or the financial and administrative benefits of such campaigns, reflecting the intersection of environmental policy, revenue generation, and administrative reforms in competitive exams.
