New Delhi: The Department of School Education & Literacy (DoSE&L), under the Ministry of Education, is set to participate in the Special Campaign 4.0, launched by the Government of India. This nationwide initiative, aimed at institutionalizing cleanliness and reducing pending tasks in government offices, will take place from October 2 to October 31, 2024.
Building on the success of previous campaigns, Special Campaign 4.0 seeks to improve the overall efficiency of government operations, while promoting a cleaner and more organized work environment. The campaign also aims to raise awareness about environmental sustainability, particularly through the integration of Eco Clubs for Mission LiFE in schools, and continued promotion of the #EkPedMaaKeNaam (#एकपेड़माँकेनाम) initiative, contributing to a greener future.
The campaign will be executed in two phases. The Preparatory Phase, running from September 16 to September 30, 2024, will involve setting targets and identifying field units and outstation offices where the Swachhata (cleanliness) drive will take place. During the Implementation Phase, scheduled for October 2 to October 31, 2024, the focus will shift to addressing pending references, managing public grievances, and simplifying rules and processes. Other key activities include record management, the disposal of scrap and redundant items, and the beautification of offices.
To ensure accountability and transparency, progress will be tracked daily through a dedicated Google tracker, with updates from participating offices. The initiative will also be promoted on social media under the hashtag #SpecialCampaign4.0.
The Ministry of Education has urged all its autonomous bodies to actively participate in the campaign, emphasizing the importance of a cleaner and more efficient workplace environment.
