The Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA) has reported significant progress in its ongoing participation in the Special Campaign for Disposal of Pending Matters (SCDPM) 5.0, held from October 2 to 31, 2025. The initiative, aligned with the Government’s broader ‘Swachhata’ and Good Governance drive, aims to promote efficiency, cleanliness, and transparency across ministries and departments.
87% Grievance Targets Achieved; 4,988 Files Weed Out
According to the Ministry’s mid-term report, 87% of public grievance redressal targets have already been met. A total of 4,988 physical files have been successfully weeded out, streamlining old records and optimizing work efficiency. Furthermore, 405 cleanliness drives have been conducted out of the targeted 480, highlighting sustained momentum in improving work environments.
Space Optimization and Scrap Disposal Drive Revenue and Efficiency
Through the disposal of scrap, e-waste, and redundant documents, approximately 31,353 square feet of valuable office space has been freed up across Ministry premises. The process has also generated revenue worth ₹81.66 lakh through the sale of scrap materials. These measures not only improve physical conditions but reflect MoCA’s commitment to sustainable resource management.
Leadership Oversight: Minister Rammohan Naidu’s Hands-On Approach
The campaign is being spearheaded by Minister of Civil Aviation Shri Rammohan Naidu, who personally chaired a review meeting on October 9, 2025, with senior ministry officials and heads of attached organizations — including the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), Airports Authority of India (AAI), and Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS). On October 13, he conducted a walkthrough of the Ministry premises, interacting with staff, inspecting libraries and canteens, and encouraging officials to adopt Swachhata (cleanliness) as a personal and professional ethos.
Aiming for a Physically, Digitally, and Mentally Clutter-Free Workplace
Under Shri Naidu’s leadership, the Ministry is moving toward a workplace free of physical and digital clutter. The initiative emphasizes digitization of records to create a paperless office environment and ensure responsible e-waste recycling in line with environmental standards. Moreover, MoCA is promoting organized workflows and minimalistic work practices — reflecting holistic cleanliness not only in spaces but also in mindset.
Progress Aligned With National Governance Reforms
The Special Campaign 5.0, led by the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances (DARPG), aims to accelerate government efficiency through grievance resolution, file disposal, and clean administrative practices. MoCA’s robust mid-term performance showcases its alignment with Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s vision of transforming Swachhata into a way of life, inspiring ministries to embody transparency, accountability, and sustainability.
Conclusion
The Ministry of Civil Aviation’s proactive participation in Special Campaign 5.0 stands as a model of operational efficiency and workplace transformation. By ensuring cleanliness in both physical and digital domains, promoting employee engagement, and simplifying governance processes, MoCA reiterates its commitment to a clean, transparent, and people-first administration.
