Abstract
Use of information and communication technology is becoming popular with time as this technology is coming with a lot of lavishness so people are demanding more of it. Electronic items have taken a status symbol in our lives. In India rich class is using up to date devices like cell phones, laptops, computers, microwave ovens, fridge, televisions etc and then pass it on to the poor class. There is no proper way for disposal or recycling of these items. This paper discuses about the increasing problem of e-waste in India, existing technologies and policies for its management, challenges to implement e-waste and then finally after giving some suggestions for reducing e-waste the paper will conclude itself by saying save earth.
