Government Earns Over Rs 800 Crore From Scrap Sales, Frees Significant Office Space
The Indian government generated over Rs 800 crore by selling scrap during a month-long cleanliness campaign held from October 2 to 31. This initiative, part of the larger Swachhta campaign, also freed up a record 232 lakh square feet of office space and cleared 29 lakh physical files. The campaign, involving 84 ministries and departments, has cumulatively earned nearly Rs 4,100 crore since 2021, institutionalizing cleanliness and reducing administrative pendency.
