Focus on Efficiency and Swachhata

Administrative and Environmental Goals

The campaign focuses on cleanliness, efficient record management, disposal of scrap and e-waste, and optimum utilisation of office space across the ministry and its associated organisations. The ministry said the progress reflected its efforts to promote cleanliness, ensure the scientific disposal of scrap and e-waste, and improve administrative efficiency across the oil and gas sector.

As part of the initiative, the ministry is continuing to monitor progress and has encouraged its organisations to intensify efforts towards meeting their assigned targets. It has also emphasised responsible e-waste disposal and the maintenance of cleanliness at offices and installations.

Strengthening Organizational Functioning

Special Campaign 6 seeks to strengthen administrative functioning by improving record management, clearing unused materials and making better use of available office space. The initiative also reinforces the ministry's focus on Swachhata and environmental responsibility across its organisations.

The latest figures show that the ministry and its CPSEs have exceeded both the previous year's achievement in space utilisation and the revenue target set for scrap disposal under the campaign. (ANI)
