In the mystical country named India, the menace of a monster named E-Waste, was rising. Not many knew about this monster which was growing in size everyday.

This monster was poisoning the air, water and soil of the great land with dangerous chemicals and metals like lead, mercury, barium etc. Stealthily, the poison was killing men, women and children and people suffered with Cancer, DNA mutation, lung diseases and many other ailments.

This monster had army of its minions. These minions were present in almost every home of the country. These minions, the old and unused electronic appliances, which were hiding and waiting to reach landfills and local dismantlers, to spread that monster’s poison.

9th September 2013– The Day which Changed Everything.

Whenever an evil monster kills people of this promise land, a small group of people always rise up to the occasion to fight such menace. These people didn’t have any super power but their strong will and determination to take on against such monsters. History repeated itself again. Few ordinary people came out, forming a clan, named as ZeroWaste, which had a sole aim of defeating this Monster and reward those people who joined, helped or fought along with the Clan.

Like every uprising against destructive forces, destiny gave this clan, a chance to get the support of the wonderful and responsible people of Jaipur. It was just 2 years since they arrived; they got rid of over ten thousand monster’s minions weighing 6 tonnes. They rewarded the great people of Jaipur with their token of Appreciation and Respect. These tokens become the strings of unbreakable bond.

In the raging battle, people of Ajmer, Indore, Lucknow and Chandigarh joined. While this clan was of people with strong will, they never forgot the love and support of the people. Today, it has over 5000 people standing beside to win the war against E-Waste Monster.

Digital India needs ways to manage its Digital Waste

Soft Talent to Power Progress: Finally it would dawn on India as a state policy to push digitization of India. It is a long overdue effort considering that for many years India and its soft talent has been reckoned as global power house. Yet the country itself could never leverage its own talent to efficiently manage its affairs.

Since much of the reason for India excelling in digital domain was largely due to private individual and corporate efforts. Now with the same becoming state sponsored effort this will indeed result in all encompassing transformation of the entire nation to the benefit of its citizen.

Digital India is much needed, so is Digital Waste Redressal

The enormity of the project, the ambitious coverage and the wide and deep ramifications it would have through all its nine pillars and especially electronics Manufacturing, Universal Access to devices for ICT would include creation of huge digital infrastructure.

There will be Wi-Fi at schools, universities and public wi-fi hotspots. The Post Offices to be turned into Multi-Service Centres with all gadgetry installed. Manufacturing of FABS, Fab-less design, Set top boxes, VSATs, Mobiles, Consumer & Medical Electronics, Smart Energy meters, Smart cards, micro-ATMs. The aim of the project is to deliver government services to the citizens directly. The government also wants to ensure smart phones in the hand of every citizen by 2019.

The Digital Waste Challenge: The Digital India Project document does inform about the challenges on the implementation of such a large project in terms of unprecedented scale; Human & Financial resource mobilization apart from the intra government coordination. However, it misses out on the fallout of the electronic mess that would be created in the years to come.

E Waste from Electronic Obsolescence: It is a well known fact the obsolescence of Electronics is the quickest. It is not difficult to understand what sort of E Waste would be generated from projects of such proportions and sweeping geographical coverage.

Though there has been a passing reference on the linking of Swachh Bharat Abhiyan but that too to create awareness and support for the ongoing governmental activities for participation and disposal of municipal waste.

We certainly hope the authorities would take into account the e waste challenge that fall out of digitalizing India. It needs to be highlighted and understood before the problem just stomp us in the face with our efforts falling short. That would be one of the grave failures of such a glorious project. A comprehensive view is much warranted for Digitizing India.
