The Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs undertook Special Campaign 5.0 aimed at cleanliness, efficient record management, and digital governance; achieved 100% disposal of identified public grievances.
The Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs embarked on a comprehensive initiative, Special Campaign 5.0, focusing on cleanliness, efficient record management, disposal of pending matters, space optimisation, and promotion of paperless governance from September 2025 to August 2026. During this period, the Ministry aimed to strengthen its commitment towards clean, efficient, transparent, and environmentally sustainable functioning.
The campaign began with a preparatory phase to identify pending references, review files, and list redundant materials and e-waste. This initiative led to the disposal of 100% identified public grievances and the pending public grievance appeal, reducing pendency in these categories to zero. In terms of record management, 172 files were weeded out/closed, enhancing record management efficiency and freeing valuable office space.
Obsolete materials and e-waste were disposed of following environmental guidelines. To promote paperless governance, the Ministry extensively utilized digital platforms such as e-Office and e-HRMS. Additionally, efforts were made towards wider adoption of the National e-Vidhan Application (NeVA) by State Legislatures, which facilitates paperless legislative functioning, reduces dependence on physical documents, and increases efficiency and environmental sustainability.
To expedite disposal of pending legislative matters, the Ministry coordinated with Ministries/Departments and State Legislatures for timely action on Parliamentary Assurances, Rule 377 matters, and other legislative references. Follow-up communications were also undertaken with State Legislatures to accelerate their transition towards the paperless NeVA platform.
Regular cleanliness drives, inspections, and monitoring by senior officers were conducted to ensure achievement of campaign objectives and maintain established standards. The Ministry used social media platforms to disseminate information about campaign activities and achievements, promoting wider awareness of Special Campaign 5.0's objectives.
