To facilitate easy monitoring and coordination, the MHA has made use of a special intra-ministry digital portal through which all the divisions, Union Territories and the Delhi Police could post and monitor data related to the campaign in real time. This online integration contributed to simplification of the communication process, as well as accuracy in reporting on the progress made in different departments.

This program is part of the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances (DARPG) Special Campaign 5.0 to encourage government offices to be more environmentally friendly, efficient, and clean. The campaign is being closely monitored from the top of the Ministry to ensure tangible outcomes.

In order to achieve campaign outcomes, MHA has directed all CAPFs and Central Police Organizations (CPOs) to "go the extra mile" and actively participate in the campaign. It will continue its campaign on sustainability, digitization and efficient record management or will ensure that government workspaces are clean, sustainable and accessible to citizens.

The MHA has demonstrated its commitment to create a cleaner and more effective governance ecosystem through such initiatives, demonstrating that it is aligned to assist the larger objectives of Swachh Bharat and administrative excellence.

The MHA and its agencies have held special drives on a monthly basis to enhance our disciplines on record management, make better use of office space, and enhance cleanliness.
