New Delhi, Nov 9 (PTI) The Department of Legal Affairs under the Union law ministry has reviewed over 27,000 physical files, disposed of 15,679 and generated a revenue of Rs 4.71 lakh through scrap disposal as part of Special Campaign 6, an official statement said on Monday.

According to the statement, the campaign aims to improve administrative efficiency, reduce pendency, promote cleanliness and strengthen record management across the department and its field offices.

During the preparatory phase, senior officers were deputed to field offices to sensitise officials about the ‘Swachhata Hi Sewa’ initiative and Special Campaign 6.

During the implementation phase, the department undertook cleanliness drives, reviewed and weeded out obsolete records, digitised record-management processes, disposed of redundant information and communication technology equipment and electrical items, and undertook measures for space optimisation, the statement said.

The campaign also focused on clearing pending references, improving grievance redressal and ensuring responsible disposal of scrap and obsolete materials.

It sought to institutionalise cleanliness and systematic file management as part of routine administrative functioning.
