ECL Launches Special Campaign 6.0 to Drive Cleanliness and Sustainability

Eastern Coalfields Limited has rolled out Special Campaign 6.0, a fresh push to make its workplaces cleaner, more efficient, and more sustainable. The campaign ties together two national priorities the "Waste to Wealth" theme set by the Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances, and the "eWaste Management" theme laid out by the Ministry of Coal. Together, these themes shape a coordinated effort across ECL to clear clutter, cut down pending work, and modernise how the organisation operates day to day.

Special Campaign 6.0 Theme

The campaign is built around two connected ideas working side by side. "Waste to Wealth" pushes ECL to look at scrap and unused resources not as dead weight but as something that can be recovered, reused, or responsibly disposed of to create value. Running alongside it, "eWaste Management" zeroes in specifically on electronic waste old computers, obsolete devices, and other e-items that tend to pile up in large organisations if left unaddressed. Put together, these themes give the campaign both a broad sustainability goal and a sharply defined operational target.

About Special Campaign 6.0

1. Special Campaign 6.0 is essentially ECL's structured, time-bound effort to combine environmental responsibility with better administrative functioning. Rather than treating cleanliness as a one-off drive, the campaign builds it into a phased action plan with clear deadlines. 
2. It kicks off with a Preparatory Phase from September 15 to September 30, 2026, where groundwork and planning take shape, followed by an Implementation Phase from October 2 to October 31, 2026, when the actual on-ground work happens. 
3. The campaign carries the motto "Act Today, Impact Tomorrow," signalling that today's cleanup and digital shift are meant to pay off in efficiency gains down the line.
4.  It was formally launched by ECL's Chairman-cum-Managing Director, Satish Jha, who called on employees across the organisation to participate actively rather than leave the work to a few departments.

Special Campaign 6.0 Focuses On

• E-Waste Management – Effective collection, segregation, and responsible disposal of electronic waste accumulated across ECL's offices and sites
• Pendency Reduction – Timely disposal of pending public grievances, appeals, references, and communications, including those received from Members of Parliament and state governments
• Space Optimisation – Identification and clearance of scrap, obsolete, and unserviceable items that occupy valuable office space
• Digitalisation – Promotion of paperless and eco-friendly workplace practices, using digital tools to improve efficiency and cut down environmental impact
