The Department of Health and Family Welfare (DoHFW) has initiated a six-week campaign focused on cleanliness, reducing pendency, and improving governance across its Central Government Hospitals, Attached and Subordinate Offices, Autonomous Bodies, CPSUs, and other organizations.
The Department of Health and Family Welfare (DoHFW), Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, has initiated Special Campaign 6 from October 2, 2026. The campaign aims to instill cleanliness, streamline office functioning, reduce pendency, and promote efficient and citizen-centric governance across its Central Government Hospitals, Attached and Subordinate Offices, Autonomous Bodies, CPSUs, and other organizations. This drive is spearheaded by the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances (DARPG).
Under Special Campaign 6, DoHFW has set comprehensive targets covering cleanliness, disposal of records and unserviceable items, review of files, resolution of public grievances, and simplification of rules and processes. A total of 2,017 sites have been identified for cleanliness activities, with a focus on creating cleaner, more organized, and hygienic workplaces. Special emphasis is being placed on the identification and disposal of e-waste and unserviceable items.
In addition to cleanliness initiatives, the campaign also addresses pendency and strengthens responsive governance by earmarking a number of public grievances for prompt resolution. The exercise aims to ensure timely disposal of grievances and reinforce transparent and citizen-centric administration. A total of 60,012 physical files and 10,020 e-files have been identified for review to reduce unnecessary records and improve record management.
Furthermore, 12 rules/processes have been identified for simplification with a view to removing procedural bottlenecks, improving efficiency, and promoting ease of governance. The Department of Health and Family Welfare is undertaking this coordinated effort towards cleaner workplaces, effective record management, reduction of pendency, simplification of processes, and responsive administration.
