Government Generates Over Rs 5,100 Crore from Scrap Disposal in Five Years
The Indian government has generated over Rs 5,100 crore through scrap disposal in the last five years via special cleanliness campaigns in government offices. Since 2021, more than 24.20 lakh sites have been covered and over 180.48 lakh files weeded out or closed, freeing office space and raising revenue. The fifth campaign alone accounted for Rs 833.92 crore from scrap. Campaign 6 will run from October 2 to 31, preceded by preparatory activities, with progress tracked via a new online portal.
