The Government of India has announced Special Campaign 3.0, which is scheduled to run from 2nd October to 31st October 2023. This campaign places a strong emphasis on two key aspects: “Swachhata” (cleanliness) and “Reducing Pendency” in government offices, adopting a comprehensive and saturation approach.
The Cabinet Secretary addressed all Secretaries of the Government of India on 25th August 2023, setting the stage for this crucial campaign. The Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances (DARPG) issued comprehensive guidelines for Special Campaign 3.0 on 1st September 2023, outlining the strategies and objectives to be pursued.
“Special Campaign 3.0 extends its focus beyond Ministries and Departments to encompass field and outstation offices responsible for service delivery or having a public interface. This expansion aims to address concerns and issues at every level of government, ultimately improving citizen experiences with government services”.
The preparatory phase of Special Campaign 3.0 will commence with the launch of the dedicated portal on September 14, 2023, and will continue until September 30, 2023. During this period, Ministries and Departments will identify areas of pendency in selected categories and finalize the campaign sites, ensuring that the campaign is well-prepared to achieve its objectives.
