The Department of Military Affairs and all Establishments under its purview successfully
implemented the fifth edition of the special campaign from October 02-31, 2025. Armed Forces &
HQ IDS contributed in full measure towards organising cleanliness campaign within posts, units,
stations, establishments, cantonments as part of the Campaign and minimising pending matters. Apart
from cleanliness activities, considerable effort was made to reduce pendency in public grievances,
MP, PMO & State Government references, appeals and parliamentary assurances.
The cleanliness drive was carried out in 5,274 campaign sites identified by the department and a total
of 455 processes were simplified by various organisations. Revenue of around Rs 41.64 crore was
generated from disposal and sale of scrap. In respect of record management, a total of 7,18,898
physical files were reviewed and 9,602 files were weeded out. As a result, space of 2,71,842 sq ft was
effectively freed for improvement and alternate use. The Department achieved 100% target in
disposal of Public grievances & parliamentary assurances and a total 450 public grievances were
disposed while 46 MP references were responded to.
Several best practices emerged from efforts made during the campaign like the Indian Army
generating electricity from Waste Water through Micro Hydro Power with output capacity of 2 KW
system of turbines to power lights along natural walkways at Varanasi Military Station. The system
utilised a low-head, eco-friendly generator setup for continuous year round operation with zero
emissions, low maintenance and generates electricity at no cost. The innovative farming technique
through Hydroponics at Gangtok, provides yearlong provision of fresh vegetables to troops and
supply of fresh vegetables from far off places is negated to a certain extent thus reducing carbon
footprint.
