Ministry of Coal is actively engaged in Special Campaign 4.0 in alignment with the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances (DARPG), with focus on institutionalizing cleanliness (Swachhata) and minimizing pendency in Government offices. Accordingly, the campaign, set to run from 2nd October to 31st October, 2024, focuses on enhancing workplace cleanliness, promoting sustainable practices and optimizing the disposal of pending matters.
The ongoing preparatory phase, which began on September 16, 2024, will conclude on September 30, 2024. A preparatory meeting has already been held with concerned officers and nodal officers to raise awareness about the objectives of the Swachhata campaign.

These efforts underscore the importance of efficiency, transparency, and waste management in government functioning.
As part of this nationwide drive, the Ministry of Coal will undertake the following activities during Special Campaign 4.0:
Addressing Public Grievances: The Ministry will prioritize identifying and redressing pending references and public grievances in alignment with the campaign’s goal of streamlining governance.
