NEW DELHI — The Ministry of Tourism has finalized preparations for the rollout of Special Campaign 6.0, the Government of India’s nationwide administrative initiative scheduled to run from October 2 to October 31, 2026, focused on institutional cleanliness (Swachhata), public grievance redressal, and reducing pending official references.
This year’s campaign framework places heightened focus on field and outstation public-facing offices, alongside an added operational emphasis on the systematic collection, segregation, and eco-friendly disposal of corporate and administrative electronic waste (e-waste).
