Ministries asked to scale up targets for cleanliness drive

CONCERNED by a sharp drop in targets set for cleanliness, record management, and administrative reforms under Special Campaign 5.0, the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances (DARPG) has asked ministries and departments to scale up their efforts.

In a recent review meeting, it was revealed that several departments had set goals significantly lower than last year; some by more than 50%. DARPG secretary V Srinivas urged all central government bodies, including subordinate offices and PSUs, to adopt a saturation approach and ensure comprehensive participation.
