The Indian Council of Agricultural Research and its 114 institutes, regional centres and farm science centres are participating in Swachhata Special Campaign 6 from 2 to 31 October. A government release on 21 October reported nearly 4,000 cleanliness activities and about 130,000 square feet of space cleared.

The release also reported around ₹1 million in revenue from disposing of electronic and other scrap. Activities included cleaning institutional and village spaces, waste management, planting and reviewing pending files; these are results reported for the campaign to that date.
