Staff Reporter, Electronic gadgets has indispensable part in urban and in rural life as well. Round the clock people in majority of time remain in touch or in coverage of the electronic gadgets. Surprisingly the comfort and ease comes from these gadgets comes from these electronic units turning in to threat when it becomes out of order or replaced due to some malfunctioning. As repairing of these units generates some waste commonly known as e-waste. Jabalpur market being window for the Mahakoshal region has biggest base of electronic market so as the biggest originator for the e-waste. In majority the small or general scrap dealers purchases e-waste with household, commercial areas and institutions and separate this waste in sorting through breaking the items. According to the assessment approximately every month e-waste worth in crores are being generated in cities but still the remain untapped. To fetch the valuable items like Aluminium, Copper, Iron and Steel, Compressor from Motor, Wires, etc. the e-waste is burnt causing huge losses to the system. Yet scrap dealers are operating business in unorganised way. Dismantling and separation of E-waste occurs in a major way at large scrap dealers that are not even having license or system to dismantle e-waste. Proper management of e-waste have become a critical issue. In cities as well as in villages the e-waste is causing pollution to great extent. From villages nearly cent per cent is getting dumped in to shelves of people or burnt by local scrap buyers. In Madhya Pradesh situation is serious right from at primary areas like education of identification of e-waste amongst citizen, proper sorting and management facilities, no linkage of buyers even after having mandatory provisions for electronic companies to buyback e-waste. According to the initiatives taken to control pollution caused due to e-waste the Government of India Ministry of Environment and Forest have issued guidelines for the Madhya Pradesh State Pollution Control Board. In this MPSBC has been given task to follow the first E-waste guidelines issued to regulate by preparing an e-waste inventory in State. Implementing directives in this MPPCB have initiated some study in four divisions and the project is still continued.
