Good to see focus on e-waste disposal. In our digital age, this is crucial. The revenue generation of ₹38+ lakhs shows how much waste was lying around unused. More such initiatives needed!

While the numbers look good, I hope this isn't just for show. Real change happens when cleanliness becomes part of daily routine, not just during special campaigns. Let's see if this momentum continues.

Disposal of 5,000 public grievances is the real achievement here. Often our complaints get lost in bureaucracy. Hope this efficiency reaches local health centers too. 🙏

Swachh Bharat should start from government offices themselves. Glad to see this happening. Now if only our local municipal corporations could show similar dedication to cleanliness drives.

The file weeding statistics are impressive - 30,000+ physical files reviewed and weeded. This shows how much paperwork was redundant. Digital transformation is the way forward for efficient governance.
