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.

Then we will have to bring all the component required for the devices. First we need to design the circuit then we will have to attach the components on the circuit board to make it complete device. After completing the hardware we can too develop software’s for it either Remaining in the image......

I am concerned because we are unable to clean our cities.For this to happen we need public participatation in a very large way. Amitabh Bacchan's ad does not seem to cut any ice with the public, nor for that appeals from the likes of Koran Majumdar. Probably,what these ads cannot do,a tear jerker can. Why don't we have a movie in which,an actor (with great mass appeal),and his wife and kids,suffer in health because of the ills of uncleared garbage? Would like to continue.
