Central government office space of the size of around 320 football fields has been cleared of clutter and junk in the past two years as part of two special drives, data shows. Now, the Centre has decided to scale-up efforts to reach a “saturation level” in all offices as part of its upcoming ‘Special Campaign 3.0’.
According to data available with the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances (DARPG), around 90% of the files across Central government Ministries and attached offices are being generated in the electronic mode.
The weeding out of physical files, reducing pendency of public grievances, beautifying office space, and moving to the digital mode are part of the ‘Special Campaign’ Secretariat reforms being undertaken by the government. So far, two campaigns have been completed, and the third drive take place from October 2-31.
