Taking inspiration from Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s vision to institutionalize cleanliness and minimize pending tasks in government, the Ministry of Heavy Industries has launched the Main Phase of Special Campaign 4.0, which runs from October 2 to October 31, 2024. This campaign aims to focus on the removal of outdated files, optimize space management, and promote a sustainable and greener environment.

The Ministry has successfully completed its Special Campaign 4.0 on tidiness, implemented across the Ministry and its Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs) and Autonomous Bodies (ABs) nationwide. The campaign began with a preparatory phase on September 15, 2024, focusing on space management and enhancing the workplace experience in offices.

This cleared space has been repurposed for new office areas, meeting halls, and libraries.
