In the meeting, Chairman & CEO/Railway Board emphasized the need for active participation at all levels. He directed the General Managers of all Zonal Railways & other field offices to personally monitor the activities of the campaign.

Under Special Campaign 5.0, key targets include generating revenue from scrap disposal, managing e-waste, optimizing space, reviewing and weeding out e-files, and ensuring timely disposal of pending references and public grievances. Special emphasis will be on waste-to-wealth initiatives and effective e-file management, besides conducting cleanliness drives. To raise public awareness, citizen-centric initiatives in the form of Amrit Samwad are to be organized at all major stations, including 105 Amrit Bharat stations. Activities and achievements during the campaign are to be highlighted through social media, local news channels & press releases, etc.

The Ministry of Railways remains committed to implement the Special Campaign 5.0 in a befitting manner and make it a huge success.
