Electronic industry, world’s fastest growing manufacturing has provided some leverage to the socio- economic and technological growth of India but it has created a new environmental challenge i.e., electronic waste that consists of electronic devices. One study identified that computer equipment account for almost 70 % of e- waste followed by telecommunication equipment like phones 12%, electrical equipment 8 % and medical equipment 7 % with remaining from household e- waste. Electronic products are a complex mixture of several hundred tiny particles which contains deadly chemicals threatening human health and environment. These components in e-devices contain lead, cadmium, mercury, chromium etc that can damage nervous system, kidney, bones and endocrine systems. These wastes when disposed improperly can contaminate soil and water. Therefore, the 3R Principle (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle) needs to be implemented. The present paper is an attempt to analyze the current situation of e- waste in India with some effective solutions for e -waste management.
