The department held plantation and shramdaan drives, including one on 2 October at CSOI, New Delhi, with Minister of State Jitendra Singh and Secretary Nivedita Shukla Verma, and cleaned 21 identified sites nationwide. On 26 October the minister inaugurated a library and a selfie point for the DLC campaign, made from discarded office equipment under a "Waste to Wealth" initiative.
