The Ministry of Coal is running a special e-waste disposal drive as part of Special Campaign 6.0, the government’s October cleanliness and efficiency drive that runs from October 2 to 31.

The campaign focuses on clearing e-waste, disposing of scrap and improving record digitalisation across the ministry and its public sector units. An e-waste kiosk at Shastri Bhawan will accept old electronics till October 31.

The ministry also held a donation drive under the Generate Wealth from Waste theme on October 1, along with a blood donation camp.

Special Campaign 6.0 is the sixth edition of the annual drive covering all central ministries. Previous editions have freed up office space and generated revenue from scrap disposal while pushing files and records onto digital systems.
