95% physical files and 87.5% e-files reviewed under Special Campaign 5.0 by Department of Higher Education

The Department of Higher Education (DoHE) has reported outcomes from Special Campaign 5.0, where it reviewed 95.2% of physical files and 87.46% of e-files. The campaign resulted in clearing 14,44,839 sq. ft. of office space, generating ₹6.89 crore in revenue through scrap disposal, and weeding out or closing 90,629 files. Moving forward, the DoHE is launching Special Campaign 6.0, scheduled from October 2 to 31, 2026. This initiative focuses on reducing pendency in government offices and Centrally Funded Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), with an emphasis on record management and the scientific disposal of e-waste. The campaign includes a preparatory phase (September 15–30, 2026) followed by an implementation phase targeting public grievances and parliamentary assurances.
