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.

In developed countries like Germany, waste is so efficiently managed that each type of waste is firstly discarded in separate coloured bins where PEOPLE have to follow the rule and dsicard each type of waste accordingly. Then they are recycled separately and whole system works quite smoothly. Secondly, bottles (glass, plastic, tins) are to returned back to shop and consumer gets some paid money back and they are recycled too. This avoids bottle littering on roads and cleaner streets are seen.

The reason for excess garbage and waste is partly the Govt. and mainly the PUBLIC. Even if the Govt. manages to install garbage bins and efficiently tries to clean up drainage and roads, the People are responsible for littering them again. If basic civic sense is inculcated in everyone, A CLEAN and GREEN Country is possible. The Govt. should do its job of instaling bins, cleaning on regular basis but at the same time, people should follow their duty of throwing litter in bins and not on roads !!

Medicinal trees have become a lost treasure. Raktachandan, Chandan, Ashok, Lodhra, Padmak, Varun are selectively eliminated from forest.They need to be grown for use in trade, tradition and local health care.
