The Ministry of Mines has made significant strides in promoting cleanliness through its participation in the Swachhata Hi Seva (SHS) Campaign 2025. Embracing a ‘Whole of Government’ approach, the initiative saw the involvement of 5,853 participants and the transformation of 98 Cleanliness Target Units (CTUs).

Active Participation and Commitment

The Swachhata Hi Seva Campaign 2025 witnessed robust participation from the Ministry of Mines and its affiliated organizations. A total of 5,853 individuals engaged in various activities aimed at enhancing cleanliness standards. The campaign’s success was marked by the transformation of 98 Cleanliness Target Units (CTUs), showcasing the Ministry’s dedication to sustainability and hygiene. Shri Piyush Goyal, the Secretary of the Ministry, led the Swachhata Pledge at Khanij Kaksh in Shastri Bhawan, reinforcing the Ministry’s commitment to promoting cleanliness and sustainable practices among its workforce.

In a symbolic gesture of unity, senior officials and staff formed a human chain stretching from India Gate to Shastri Bhawan. This act served to spread awareness about the collective responsibility required to foster a cleaner and greener future. The Ministry’s proactive approach highlights its role in leading by example and encouraging all employees to prioritize cleanliness in their daily routines.

Honoring Safai Mitras

Recognizing the invaluable contributions of Safai Mitras, the Ministry organized a special felicitation program to honor these sanitation workers. Smt. Farida M. Naik, Joint Secretary (Mines), and Shri Vivek Kumar Sharma, Director (Mines), presented awards to the workers for their dedicated service. As a token of appreciation, shoes were distributed to the Safai Mitras, and a health camp was organized for them and Ministry employees. This initiative underscores the Ministry’s commitment to supporting those who play a crucial role in maintaining cleanliness and hygiene.

The Ministry’s efforts to honor these workers reflect a broader recognition of their essential role in public health and sanitation. By acknowledging their hard work, the Ministry aims to inspire others to appreciate and support the contributions of sanitation workers in their communities.

Innovative Approaches to Waste Management

During the campaign, Shri G. Kishan Reddy, the Union Minister of Coal & Mines, inaugurated Waste to Wealth Models at the Geological Survey of India (GSI) in Hyderabad. He emphasized the significance of innovative strategies to convert waste into valuable resources. The Minister praised the sanitation workers from the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) and GSI for their efforts in promoting cleanliness and sustainability.

As part of this initiative, sanitation kits were distributed to acknowledge the contributions of these workers. This innovative approach not only addresses waste management but also encourages a culture of recycling and resourcefulness within the community. The Ministry’s focus on waste management aligns with its broader goals of sustainability and environmental responsibility.

Encouraging Sustainable Practices

The Swachhotsav 2025 campaign has seen enthusiastic participation from the Ministry’s workforce, reflecting a strong commitment to the objectives of Swachhata Hi Seva 2025. The Ministry encourages all employees to actively engage in cleanliness drives and adopt sustainable practices in their daily lives. This collective effort aims to foster a culture of hygiene and environmental stewardship within the organization and beyond.

The campaign’s success is a testament to the Ministry’s dedication to promoting cleanliness and sustainability.
