Electronic waste (e-waste) creates a global crisis due to environmental degradation. India, as a growing economy, is facing serious challenges in managing the volume of generated e-waste due to lack of environmental awareness and socio-economic issues. Major concern of e-waste management in India is its recycling undertaken by non-formal sector not adhering to health and environmental norms.

While e-waste poses a problem for the environment it is also a source of valuable resources and contains a number of precious metal and mineral resources, which are available in very limited quantities in nature.

While Ministry of Environment and Forests and Climate Change is involved in enacting laws, guidelines referring to e-waste and has formulated the E-Waste (Management and Handling) Rules, 2010 wrt safe handling of e-waste, Department of Electronics and Information Technology (DeitY) has addressed indigenous technology development through its R&D efforts to recycle e-waste and extract pressure resources following environment and health norms.

In this direction DeitY has initiated a demonstration plant to showcase its developed technology of processing printed circuit boards (PCB) to recover precious metals at Bangalore. DeitY also proposes to provide capital subsidy to authorized recyclers for processing e-waste similar to support available under the M-SIPS scheme of DeitY. Further recyclers using indigenous technology could be given additional advantage.

DeitY seeks views and suggestion to address the e-waste issues both in term of technology development as well as policy initiatives.

India is having 29 states. Elections are held at different time according to the law. All political parties has to devote too much time in election and main activity required for country developments comes to standstill. Apart from time, there is a large amount of money ( Black & white) also being spent by all the political parties. Will it not be good for the country, if all political parties decide to form such policy that the state election can be held with the central election only?

Dear modi sir i'm very delight to see you as p.m. my view about e-waste is to use it as opportunity for unemployed youth by helping them in establishing their own small recycling center. gov. can buy this e-waste from companies and sell it to those people on a subsidized cost to recycle the e-waste. in this way gov. can solve the problem of e-waste & also produce some employment for our youth. it will have to done at district level so more people can take benefits from your gov....

Dear PM sir, Hard luck on delhi elections,It was shocking but expected result.Becoz ppl are not happy with d last 7-8 months work, so govt has to change the way of functioning. As a common man i can understand that its difficult to control the prices in 7-8 months but certainly at least public related issues should be sort out. We are talking about swachh bharat its good but not a core agenda. As a common man i feel following things should be on priority and can be fulfill in 7-8 months: cont.

I guess, the big culprit of all the issues of our country is "POPULATION". But, to my surprise nobody talks about controlling the population instead they are saying it is our Wealth. How it is true? All our problems root cause is because of too much of POPULATION. Dear Modi sir, please think about it and try to control it if possible so that it will solve many issues for our future generations in India. Otherwise, we can not sustain in future. Thanks.
