The campaign also achieved significant file management outcomes, reviewing 12,160 physical and 1,132 e-files, leading to the weeding of 5,133 physical and closure of 740 electronic files. Of 90 targeted public grievances, 63 have been resolved, along with four grievance appeals and three VIP references.

Social media advocacy has been a key part of the effort, with #SpecialCampaign5.0 gaining traction across platforms such as Facebook, X, and Instagram. The initiative, led by the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances, underscores DST’s continued commitment to administrative efficiency and workplace cleanliness.
