The electronics waste (e-waste) comprises of discarded electrical and electronic equipment, and poses serious challenges globally for improper disposal practices especially in informal sector.

Hon’ble PM has emphasized the need for creating awareness for environmental issues under “Swach Digital Bharat’ during his address at NASSCOM event on 01.03.2015. On the direction of Hon’ble PM, MeitY has initiated the “Awareness Programme on Environmental Hazards of Electronic Waste through Digital India Initiative” over a period of five years to create awareness among the public about the hazards of e-waste recycling by the informal sector and educate them about alternate methods of disposing their e-waste.

Over 95 per cent of e-waste generated is managed by the informal sector. Integration of the informal sector and access to environmentally safe recycling technologies may reduce the health and environmental hazards. In addition to technology, capacity building, skill management, scientific recycling mechanism, business management training are also required for safe recycling of e-waste.

In this context, MeitY is inviting citizen inputs to provide solution for leakage of E-Waste in the informal sector, and suggest proper recycling technology for E-Waste that is economically available.

The last date of submission of suggestions is 4th April, 2018.

For any further information about E-Waste, please visit the GREENE website.

We need to involve students of young age more in sports and other outdoor activities so that they don't get engaged in electronics more hence less use of electronic hence fewer electronics and their business karne waalas and end of business minded people destroying the society. Well I believe in putting an end to the cause. Moreover how much will u recycle!There would be no end to it if things continue in the way they are. Imagine kids playing live trivia games instead of playing in field .true

First place from where these electrical wastes originate is home. And what we do is dump it in the dustbin. Alas, that can obviously turn fatal and the rescue to this according to me is please govt. do send your men to collect them first because otherwise it's all scattered. The same can be done from other places too. Pls mind I am only referring to electrical wastes. Then we can recycle it. Secondly and most importantly ban the usage, making, selling etc. of too many devices.(I m short of word
