New Delhi, October 29, 2026
The Ministry of Ayush has reported progress under Special Campaign 6.0, disposing of 309 public grievances and 50 grievance appeals between October 2 and 27, 2026. The campaign also included 220 cleanliness drives, the review and removal of 1,525 files, and the recovery of approximately 1,030 square feet of office space.
According to a Press Information Bureau (PIB) release dated October 27, 2026, the Ministry also generated approximately ₹1.89 lakh through scrap disposal as part of its administrative improvement initiatives.
Ministry Focuses on Grievance Redressal and Cleanliness
Special Campaign 6.0 aims to improve administrative efficiency, address pending public grievances, maintain cleanliness in government workplaces, streamline official records and make better use of office space.
The Ministry of Ayush is implementing these measures to support organised, efficient and citizen-centric administration.
Public grievance redressal is an important part of government administration, providing citizens with channels to raise concerns about public services and seek appropriate action from the relevant authorities.
The reported figures indicate the volume of administrative activities completed during the campaign period. However, the number of grievances disposed of does not, by itself, establish whether every complainant’s concern was fully resolved to their satisfaction.
Special Campaign 6.0: Key Achievements
According to the Ministry’s reported campaign figures for October 2–27, 2026, the activities included:
- 309 public grievances disposed of: The Ministry reported disposing of 309 public grievances during the campaign period.
- 50 grievance appeals disposed of: A further 50 public grievance appeals were reported as disposed of.
- 220 cleanliness drives conducted: These activities aimed to improve cleanliness and workplace organisation across government premises.
- 1,525 files reviewed and weeded out: The Ministry reported reviewing and removing 1,525 files as part of its records-management activities.
- Approximately 1,030 square feet of office space recovered: The space was reportedly freed through the removal of scrap and obsolete records.
- Approximately ₹1.89 lakh generated through scrap disposal: The Ministry reported revenue from the sale of scrap materials.
Together, these activities reflect efforts to address pending administrative work, improve records management, maintain cleaner offices and use government space more efficiently.
Improving Records Management and Office Space Utilisation
Government offices maintain large volumes of documents and records. Reviewing these materials and disposing of eligible records in accordance with applicable retention rules can help improve storage, organisation and access to important information.
The Ministry reported reviewing and weeding out 1,525 files and recovering approximately 1,030 square feet of office space under Special Campaign 6.0.
Such exercises must follow the applicable record-retention schedules and disposal procedures. The reported figures do not specify the individual files reviewed or the criteria applied to each record.
The reported revenue from scrap disposal also indicates that the removal of obsolete materials formed part of the campaign’s workplace-management activities.
Why Administrative Efficiency Matters to Citizens
Efficient government administration can influence how promptly applications, complaints and other service-related matters are handled.
Timely grievance redressal can help citizens obtain responses from public authorities, while organised records and cleaner workplaces can support the effective functioning of government offices.
The Ministry of Ayush oversees policy and administrative matters relating to Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, Sowa-Rigpa and Homoeopathy.
However, the reported campaign achievements concern administrative performance. They do not announce a new healthcare policy or changes to AYUSH treatment facilities, eligibility for government schemes or clinical outcomes.
The figures should therefore be understood as reported administrative activities rather than direct evidence of improvements in healthcare delivery.
What Citizens Should Know
Citizens who have submitted grievances to the Ministry of Ayush or its offices can continue to use the relevant official grievance-redressal channels to seek updates and follow up on their complaints.
Those wishing to raise a concern should:
- Identify the government department or institution responsible for the issue.
- Submit the grievance through the appropriate official portal or departmental channel.
- Retain the complaint registration number and related correspondence.
- Check the complaint’s status through the designated official channel.
- Follow the prescribed appeal procedure if further action is required.
The campaign announcement does not introduce a new grievance-filing process, deadline or eligibility requirement.
Conclusion
The Ministry of Ayush has reported progress under Special Campaign 6.0 through grievance disposal, cleanliness initiatives, records management and improved utilisation of office space.
Between October 2 and 27, 2026, the Ministry reported disposing of 309 public grievances and 50 grievance appeals, conducting 220 cleanliness drives, reviewing and removing 1,525 files, recovering approximately 1,030 square feet of office space and generating around ₹1.89 lakh through scrap disposal.
The longer-term value of these initiatives will depend on sustained administrative improvements, effective grievance handling and continued compliance with records-management procedures.
