"to institutionalise swachhata and ensure timely and effective disposal of pending matters - Ministry of Health and Family Welfare"

New Delhi, October 2

The Department of Health and Family Welfare (DoHFW), along with its Central Government Hospitals, Attached and Subordinate Offices, Autonomous Bodies and CPSUs, is prepared to implement the upcoming Special Campaign 5.0 from 2nd to 31st October to institutionalise Swachhata and minimise pendency in government offices.

According to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, the campaign, spearheaded by the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances (DARPG), aims to institutionalise swachhata (cleanliness) and ensure timely and effective disposal of pending matters. DoHFW has set extensive targets under the campaign to accelerate efficiency, streamline processes, and strengthen citizen-centric governance.

Under the Cleanliness Campaign, 1,454 sites have been identified for cleaning to promote a more organised and hygienic workplace. DoHFW is also prioritising the identification and disposal of e-waste and unserviceable items, during which revenue will be generated, and valuable office space will also be freed.

To minimise pending matters, a number of public grievances and associated appeals have been earmarked for prompt resolution, reaffirming its commitment to responsive and transparent governance.

Additionally, 15,494 physical files and 3,279 electronic files have been identified for review. Further, 11 rules/ processes have been identified for simplification to remove procedural bottlenecks and promote ease of governance.

DoHFW reaffirms its dedication to efficient governance, responsive administration and citizen-centric service delivery.

Swachhata campaign starting on Gandhi Jayanti is perfect timing! Cleaning government offices and reducing pendency - exactly what we need. Hope this isn't just for show and actually improves citizen services.

As someone who's dealt with health department bureaucracy, I appreciate this initiative. The e-waste disposal and file digitization are much needed. Hope they follow through beyond October.

Good to see specific targets and timelines. The 11 rules/processes simplification could really help common people. Hope they focus on healthcare delivery improvements too! 👍

While I appreciate the cleanliness drive, I hope this doesn't become another paperwork exercise. The real test will be whether citizens actually see improved healthcare services and faster grievance resolution.

Generating revenue from e-waste disposal is smart thinking! This campaign seems well-planned. Hope the momentum continues and becomes part of regular operations, not just a one-month activity.
