✎ Tourism Ministry’s Swachhata Abhiyan 6.0 (Oct 2026) aims to clean offices, reduce pending cases, and prioritize e-waste management.
Relevance for Banking, SSC & RBI Grade B exams: Polity & Governance
The Union Ministry of Tourism is gearing up for Special Campaign 6.0, to be conducted from 2 to 31 October 2026, with a dual focus on cleanliness and disposal of pending matters. The campaign will prioritise effective collection, segregation and disposal of e-waste across all ministry offices, attached and subordinate units, autonomous bodies and public-sector undertakings. A two-phase structure has been adopted: the first phase (15–30 September 2026) is for preparation—mobilising staff, mapping pending references and sanitation sites, assessing scrap, planning space utilisation and record management—while the second phase (2–31 October 2026) will implement these measures on the ground. The ministry has already conducted preparatory meetings with its divisions and regional offices to align targets and timelines, underscoring the government’s push for administrative efficiency and sustainable resource use.
This initiative holds direct relevance for Bank PO, SSC and RBI Grade B examinations, particularly in the Polity & Governance segment. Candidates should note that such campaigns reflect the government’s commitment to administrative reforms, digital governance and environmental sustainability—key themes often tested in prelims and mains papers. The emphasis on e-waste management ties into broader national policies on waste reduction and circular economy, while the focus on pending files and record digitisation mirrors the Digital India mission. Aspirants should link these efforts to broader governance frameworks like the Swachh Bharat Mission and the National e-Governance Plan, as questions may probe the interlinkages between administrative reforms and developmental outcomes.
