New Delhi, October 2

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 October 2 to 31, 2025 to institutionalise Swachhata and minimise pendency in government offices.

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

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

Great initiative! Cleaning 1,454 sites and disposing e-waste will make a huge difference. But I hope they focus on maintaining this cleanliness beyond October. We need sustainable solutions, not just one-month campaigns.

As someone who frequently visits government hospitals, I can't stress enough how important this is. Clean offices mean better service delivery and reduced infection risks. Hope they include patient waiting areas in this drive!

The numbers look impressive - 15,494 physical files and 3,279 e-files for review! But will this actually speed up our work? Last time I applied for a health certificate, it took 3 months due to pending files. Hope this brings real results.

While I appreciate the effort, I'm concerned this might become another bureaucratic exercise. The real test will be whether citizens actually experience faster grievance resolution. Let's see if the promised transparency materializes.

Simplifying 11 rules and processes is the most important part here. Government procedures are so complicated that even educated people struggle. Hope this brings some
