As part of the Special Campaign 5.0, the Ministry of Coal and its Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) have undertaken various initiatives to promote cleanliness, enhance operational efficiency, and foster sustainability across the coal sector, as per a release by the Ministry of Coal.

A total of 1,205 sites have been cleaned, covering 68,04,087 sq. ft., moving steadily towards the overall target of 82,51,511 sq. ft. Against the target of 8,678 MT of scrap, 5,813 MT has been disposed of, generating revenue of Rs. 22.87 crores.

The historic "Tally Bungalow "at Bankola Area, Eastern Coalfields Limited, has been restored and repurposed into a Yoga and Recreation Centre. Built during the British era, the 80-year-old structure has been renovated with care to preserve its architectural heritage, as per the ministry.

Northern Coalfields Limited introduced a first-of-its-kind Vocational Training Portal on 30.09.25, offering comprehensive, end-to-end digital vocational training management and a one-stop platform for seamless training, evaluation & certification of contractors' employees.

An unused space at Jayant Area, previously cluttered with scrap, has been transformed into a Music Room "JHANKAAR". This creative initiative encourages cultural expression and promotes holistic well-being among employees and their families and stands as a best practice at NCL.

The newly developed Music Room serves as a platform where individuals from children to women, from budding learners to seasoned artists can explore, learn and express their love for music. Equipped with various musical instruments, this space fosters creativity, community bonding and a sense of joy among employees and their families.

On October 22, the Ministry of Coal organised a Poetry and Speech Competition on the themes of "Swachhata" and "Swachh Bharat Mission". Eight winners were felicitated for their inspiring contributions as participants shared innovative ideas for advancing the Clean India movement.

While these initiatives are commendable, I hope the ministry is also focusing on environmental sustainability. Coal sector needs to balance development with ecological responsibility. The vocational training portal is a step in the right direction though.

The "Jhankar" music room concept is wonderful! Cultural activities like this boost employee morale and create a positive work environment. More PSUs should adopt such creative approaches. 🎵

The cyber security quiz is much needed in today's digital age. Good to see the ministry focusing on both physical and digital cleanliness. Hope they extend these campaigns to coal mining areas as well for local community benefit.
