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.

All liquor shops should responsibly have a waste bottle disposing units to maintain cleanliness on streets. Commercial, residential areas are always littered with bottles. If the consumers are advised to dispose at the place of purchase its a win win situation. This way streets can remain clean and it Helps to keep Decorum in society. Every liquor shop should have provisions / required policy & regulations inculcated & strictly adhered to best practises of #SwachhBharat Abhiyan

As known,that India spends crores over education in rural and village areas which hardly posses improvements specially towards their basic teaching facilities and digitalization. I suggest that e-wastes generated from various public/private sectors also contains some reusable electronic items such as PCs,laptops,etc. which need nominal maintenance to be in working condition.Hence,such e-waste should be maintained by the private/public itself & send to regional "Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan" schools.

Hi E waste is something which will be there and which will generate. Along with that something else which will always be there is construction. We can find a way to use this e-waste in the construction so that it is not thrown outside and recycles then and there only. Although we have to study the impact of E waste in construction materials and I am sure we can build something around it.

we should clear unnecessary data from our electronic devices on regular basis just we clean our selves daily. one chapter should be in computer education regarding the disposal of unnecessary data. we should read messages and delete the unnecessary messages. we see on the occasion of festival unnecessary message are send and in day to day life lots of jokes are send which are not useful. so one should take care while posting messages, photos. selfies etc.

Respected sir... Initially we should teach about e-waste to our street people Bcoz many people dont know type of waste & what effect of waste in our health , environment. So we should aware people- doing Rallies , street play. Teach to children in school about this and follow this as a rule.. Different colours of dustbins are installed for special wastes in public areas, our street, workers should be deployed for wastes collection week to week.
