The initiative is helping government departments make better use of public resources while creating cleaner and more organised workplaces.
The 12.33 crore square feet of space cleared during the exercise reflects the large scale of the clean-up effort. The reclaimed space can now be used more effectively for government activities and other public purposes.
The disposal of unused and obsolete material has also created significant financial value. Instead of allowing scrap and outdated items to occupy government premises, departments are disposing of them through proper channels and generating revenue.
The drive is also improving the working environment in government offices. Removing unnecessary material and clearing unused areas can make workplaces more organised, accessible and efficient.
The initiative reflects the government’s focus on cleanliness, efficient asset management and responsible use of public resources.
The results show that regular efforts to clear unused material can deliver meaningful benefits. The government’s clean-up drive is turning idle assets into revenue while making valuable public space available for productive use.
