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.

Comments should be received by 10th February, 2015.

Respected sir,We need to introduce a concept of 'education credit'. It is an amount equal to the average cost incurred in teaching a child in the privately run Govt. schools. This education credit is made available to every child. The child can either avail of the education by exchanging this credit in the Govt. owned and private operated school, or cash this portion against the fees and other costs incurred by them in a completely private school.

2G Radio must be abandoned in cities as most of them got migrated to 3G The spectrum has to be converted to 3g/2G compatible. Until 2G is fully abandoned, both should work in each channel of the spectrum. 2G is too old and can be chopped off the cities. 2G should operate inside 3G OR 3G should operate inside 2G etc. We need to use all the bands of 2G for 3G That is when we get the data out faster. Kindly do the needful.

Sir, in coming railway budget, instead of focusing on more trains on already well established routes, v should plan d project in the border areas of J&K, NorthEeast, etc to counter China. If for 1 or 2 yrs there is no additional trains on central of southern India, it will not make any impact of the life of people, but if the same amt is invested in the developing railway infrastructure in border areas, the life of people living there will improve a lot & our national security will also improve.
