According to official data, as of October 29, 2025, 1,582 cleanliness drives had been organized across various health offices and institutions. The campaign also resulted in the successful disposal of 85 references from Members of Parliament, underscoring the government’s focus on transparency and responsiveness.
Focus on Grievance Redressal and Efficiency
The Ministry reported notable achievements in resolving citizen concerns and clearing pending matters. A total of 4,726 public grievances and 360 grievance-related appeals were addressed during the campaign period. Additionally, 41,909 physical files were reviewed, out of which 29,844 files were weeded out to improve efficiency.
On the digital front, 5,759 e-files were examined, leading to the closure of 2,114 electronic files. The streamlined record management exercise not only enhanced administrative productivity but also freed up 30,442 sq. ft. of office space.
