The Ministry of Coal says it beat every target in Special Campaign 6, cleaning 2,035 sites against a goal of 1,565 and clearing scrap worth ₹61.41 crore.
The ministry and its public-sector companies cleared more than 14.84 million sq ft against a target of 10.18 million, and disposed of 17,686 tonnes of scrap against 10,909. It resolved all 253 public grievances and all 52 PMO references, and reviewed 1,79,793 physical and e-files against a target of 59,593; 1,70,336 files were weeded out and closed.
Best practices
Examples include a Waste-to-Wealth Children's Eco Park at NLC India's Mine-I in Neyveli, inaugurated on 22 October, built from 2.5 MT of iron scrap, 3,000 solid blocks and salvaged timber; and a crèche made from a junk-storage room at Eastern Coalfields' headquarters in Sanctoria. South Eastern Coalfields workers built a working model of a paste-fill mining system from scrap.
