A total of 301 cleanliness drives were conducted, while around 17 thousand 500 square feet of office space was freed through the disposal of scrap, e-waste and redundant records. The Ministry noted that during the campaign, it reviewed over 21 thousand physical files and weeded out more than 17 thousand files. The Ministry noted that it also achieved 100 per cent of its targets for redressal of public grievances and appeals.
