The Global E-waste Monitor 2020 also found that India generated 3.2 billion tonnes of e-waste in the last year making it the third largest producer of e-waste.
It also stated that electronic waste is not only a major contributor to waste but also attracts the least attention.

The main objective behind these programmes is to spread the word about electronic waste, the informal sector of disposing e-waste and the importance of recycling. Owing to the present situation, we have been unable to organise these sessions in different institutes. However, this has not stopped us from creating awareness.
“We have launched a campaign called #SabkoBataoEwasteGhatao. We have been conducting online awareness programmes and webinars for students, professionals and home-makers. The participants of these online programmes and webinars include children from the age of 10 years to adults up to the age of 60+ from all walks of life such as students, MNC employees, housewives, small entrepreneurs, corporate houses and NGOs.”
