An online dashboard / portal has been developed by Department of defence for reporting of disposal of data related to Special Campaign 2.0 by various field and subordinate offices. The dashboard created on the portal displays consolidated data thus streamlining the voluminous work of compiling the data from various field offices and subordinate offices and ensuring efficient monitoring of the Special campaign 2.0.
Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Swachh Bharat Mission was launched in 2014 to bring about behavioural change in the people and as a fitting tribute to Mahatma Gandhi who advocated cleanliness as a way of life. Later, a Special Campaign on Disposal of Pending References and Cleanliness was launched in 2021, across government departments and ministries. Following the success of the Special Campaign during the last year, it was decided to organise Special Campaign 2.0 on Swachhta in Central Government Ministries/Departments, attached/subordinate offices from 2nd October-31st October, 2022.
