The Legislative Department successfully conducted an e-auction on October 17, 2025, as part of the Government of India’s Special Campaign 5.0 under the framework of the General Financial Rules (GFR) 2017. The initiative aligns with the government’s directive to promote clean, efficient, and organized administrative practices through systematic disposal of obsolete materials and optimal space utilization.
Transparent and Efficient Disposal Process
The e-auction was organized under the supervision of Shri R. K. Pattanayak, Additional Secretary and Nodal Officer, Legislative Department, in the presence of the Auction Committee Members, officers, and staff. The process adhered strictly to prescribed procedures ensuring transparency, fairness, and full compliance with the established norms. Items auctioned included unserviceable office furniture, outdated electronic devices like computers, printers, scanners, photocopiers, and other miscellaneous materials that had been declared unusable.
Space Optimization and Administrative Gains
Following the auction, the declared items were duly removed from the premises of Shastri Bhawan, New Delhi — specifically the 4th Floor (A Wing & D Wing) and 2nd Floor (Record Room & Garage) — on October 25, 2025, under official supervision. This effort has freed substantial space across corridors, record rooms, and sections within the department, promoting a clutter-free and functional workspace that can now be repurposed for administrative efficiency.
Contribution to Swachhata and Accountability
The proceeds from the e-auction have been duly credited to the Government account, in accordance with financial regulations. The activity represents the Department’s commitment to the objectives of Special Campaign 5.0, which emphasizes cleanliness, efficient record management, and sustainable asset utilization across government offices.
Conclusion
The Legislative Department’s e-auction operation exemplifies effective implementation of public resource management policies under Special Campaign 5.0. By adhering to transparency, accountability, and optimization principles, the exercise has enhanced operational efficiency while contributing to a sustainable and organized administrative environment.
