DPIIT Accelerates Progress Under Special Campaign 5.0

24 Oct 2025 CW Team

The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) and its affiliated organisations are actively executing Special Campaign 5.0 under the guidance of the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances (DARPG). The initiative seeks to institutionalise Swachhata and reduce pendency in official work across all offices.

During the first fortnight of the implementation phase, DPIIT recorded significant progress across multiple parameters. Pending references — including those from the Prime Minister’s Office, Members of Parliament, State Governments, the Cabinet, and Public Grievances or Appeals — have been systematically identified and are being addressed for quality and timely disposal.

As of 22 October 2025, DPIIT reported that over 47 per cent of PMO references and more than 60 per cent of public grievances had been successfully resolved. Additionally, over 75 per cent of identified e-files were closed, highlighting the Department’s focus on efficient record management. DPIIT and its sub-organisations have also completed 291 cleanliness drives, representing nearly 60 per cent of the planned activities. These sustained efforts underline a strong commitment to improving workplace environments and fostering a culture of cleanliness and efficiency.

The campaign, which runs from 2 to 31 October 2025, follows a preparatory phase conducted between 15 and 30 September 2025. It has raised awareness of the importance of cleanliness, streamlined record management, and timely grievance redressal. DPIIT aims to achieve complete disposal of all pending matters and institutionalise Swachhata practices across all offices by the end of October 2025, thereby contributing to a cleaner, more efficient, and responsive government working environment.
