Department of Posts to Undertake Special Campaign 6 to Focus on Institutionalising Swachhata, Minimising Pendency and Scientific Disposal of E-waste

The Department of Posts, under the Ministry of Communications, is undertaking Special Campaign 6 to institutionalise Swachhata, minimise pendency, and ensure scientific disposal of e-waste across its nationwide postal network. The initiative includes a Preparatory Phase from 15th to 30th September 2026, and an Implementation Phase from 2nd to 31st October 2026. A primary focus of the campaign is Scientific E-Waste Management, involving the segregation and disposal of obsolete IT and electronic equipment through authorised Producer/Recycler/Refurbisher channels pursuant to the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022. The new campaign builds on the outcomes of Special Campaign 5.0, which involved conducting Dak Chaupals, cleaning sites, tree planting, and resolving public grievances.
