Under annual plan for the Mission, an award would be presented to the best maintained and clean section at the Ministry.
Regular cleaning of premises, including staircase, ensuring adequate drinking water supply are among the steps that are part of the plan.
An inspection team has been set up to carry out "surprise check" to assess cleanliness level.
Swachh Bharat is a major initiative of Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government to ensure cleanliness across the country.

Besides field offices and professional institutes coming under the Ministry have been asked to take steps for promoting Swachh Bharat Mission.
The Ministry has also prepared a five-year action plan for the Mission.
"As the implementation of the Mission is reviewed regularly at the highest level, your cooperation is solicited in ensuring that the action plans are given effect on priority basis," the Ministry said in a communication.
