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.

The E-waste is huge problems for all over the world. For the solution of this I have some thought on about it- 1. The harms of e-waste must be includes in class 1st to 10th study material in present education system in India. 2. Properly dumping station must be install in all cities in India. 3. For mobile and television the manufactures/companies must be gave rebate schemes on replacement with old one.

Most digital products have have a manufacturer and a distributor. The responsibility for collection of E-waste also has to be split, distributor collects it and manufacturer recycles it. Indian middle class is price sensitive, if you just add a box for collection of E-waste at the shops selling mobiles and give a little bit of money for disposal, they will find the waste and dispose it. Distributor collects and delivers it to manufacturer and then the components are reused.

The problem of e waste in our country is at the peak position.Everday a large no.of cases are reported bcz of hacking of sites and e waste generated through fake and fraud cyber activities.Also at some point of time the use of electronic gadgets must be controlled and dumping of cheap gadgets from foreign countries should be controlled to some extent.

The performance of law enforcement agencies has got to improve. They should be well trained and then expected to perform and not stand on the side lines for such as controlling traffic. But then there should not be be any interference from higher Police officers or Political parties in performance of their duties. It might need sort of a vigilance group to monitor their activities.

It is critical that leaving PMO officials, other officers should leave bureaucracy and red tape and start becoming compassionate. As an example to renew registration for foreign donation for education of children from poor families, that involves only 2 persons from their personal savings, for helping 450 students of Arya Vidya Sabha including 200 girls from lower strata of society school administration and I as School Patron have written more than 2 dozen letters over 2+ years, no action.

we should use the traditional ways of working manually with registers and typewriters and not be so much dependent on computers and other such stuff. these gadgets only spoil our health and causes diseases like obesity and cancer. we should go back to earlier means of recreation , working and outdoor sports. this is the best and only solution to problems of e-waste and recycling. why have we become so much dependent upon tings like television, computer, washing machine , etc.
