MHA gears up for Special Campaign 6 to create environment-friendly workplaces, addressing pendency in references

Being organised by the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances (DARPG), special attention is to be given to field and outstation offices that "interface directly with the public."

The campaign will be undertaken in two phases: preparation phase from September 15 to September 30, and implementation phase from October 2 to October 31, aimed at promoting cleanliness, streamlining work and addressing pending grievances.

The Special Campaign 6 in the MHA will focus on addressing pendency in various categories of references and matters from Members of Parliament, state governments, Parliament assurances, inter-ministerial consultations, public grievances and appeals, as well as improved record management.

The implementation of Special Campaign 6 is being monitored at the highest level in the ministry.

As per the MHA, the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) and Central Police Organisations (CPOs) have been sensitised about the importance of the Campaign and have been encouraged to make concerted efforts and go the extra mile to achieve the objectives and targets identified under the campaign.

The ministry said it remains committed to institutionalising the gains of the Special Campaign through sustained efforts towards cleanliness, efficient record management, timely disposal of pending matters and creation of cleaner, greener and more productive workplaces.

The MHA and its attached and subordinate organisations have been actively participating in the Special Campaign for reducing pendency and promoting cleanliness and efficient record management.

During the period from November 2025 to August 2026, the MHA said its field outstation offices made significant progress in the disposal of pending matters and creation of a cleaner and more efficient workplace.

In the period, 761 Swachhta campaigns were conducted at various locations by the MHA, including its field and outstation offices. A total of 299 references from Members of Parliament, 336 references from state governments and seven Prime Ministers Office references were disposed of.

A total of 52,050 public grievances and 7,410 public grievance appeals received during the period were disposed of by the Ministry. Besides, 1,02,084 square feet of office space was freed in the offices of MHA and the CAPF.

To facilitate smooth collation of data and ensure its accuracy, the MHA has been utilising an intra-ministry portal through which all divisions of the ministry, as well as the Union Territories and Delhi Police, upload campaign-related data. The portal has enabled effective coordination with various Divisions and offices and has facilitated timely collection and consolidation of accurate data. (ANI)
