The Ministry of Coal is preparing to launch Special Campaign 6.0, scheduled from October 2 to October 31, 2026, focusing on the effective collection, segregation, and disposal of e-waste. This follows Special Campaign 5.0, where the Ministry emerged as a top performer in space freed and third in revenue earned from scrap disposal among Government of India ministries, according to a DARPG report. During Special Campaign 5.0, the Ministry cleaned vast areas, disposed of large volumes of scrap, achieved 100% disposal of public grievances and PMO references, and undertook innovative 'scrap-to-sculpture' initiatives such as building Eco Park representations of the Char Dham from salvaged materials.
