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.

To reduce e-waste, the government should make a system through which people can discard their broken electronic equipment and the parts of that hardware should be recycled/reused.

Hon. PM has great concept and effort to end the terror attack in J & K and also to abolish terror from the world, I want to suggest that, in respect to Jammu and Kashmir, Door to Door search operation should be made, for which maximum force from central, army,BSF and force from various states should be deployed to complete search within minimum time period, initially, it should be one time effort, it will be better to control over local violance as well as terror attack, best wishes

the most of the e-waste goes to the incinerators and landfills thus completely polluting our nature and soil texture. it is a digital world ,offcourse in future we may have more e- waste rather than the food waste .so government kindly take care of this e-waste. government should encourage the e-waste recycling companies ,or else government can implement e-waste recycling companies, and we can go for recycling techniques which are implemented in our neighbour countries .

Hon.PM and Govt. has introduced so many important schemes for poor and needy people, such people are mostly uneducated or they have not time,as doing labour for whole day to sustain their life, therefore, it is necessary to give direct benefit or door to door publicity and help directly is very important, the advertisement and social media is not enough, some times, negetive publicity in social media is more powerful than benefit of various schemes for poor and needy, best wishes

In respect to e. waste management, I want to suggest that, the various area by which the e. waste is created should be determined, it should be divided in two parts, the e.waste which is used recycle or in any other by-products, and if not, it should be destroyed, this responsibility should be given to the concerned unit who are creating e. waste, there should be prepared and introduced e.waste management policy like bio-waste management, followed strictly, best wishes

I strongly feel that a project may be taken at Post Graduate Level of Engineering colleges as the students can have access to development at Developed Countries.
