On October 13, the government of Uttar Pradesh announced a campaign to raise awareness about e-waste management in schools across the state. Led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the Special Campaign-6 aims to educate students about the proper handling, collection, and disposal of electronic waste. The initiative will be implemented on October 28, with schools organizing awareness activities and quizzes during morning assemblies.
Students will be taught about the safe collection, reuse, and recycling of electronic waste, as well as its proper disposal through authorized agencies. District Inspectors of Schools and District Basic Education Officers have been tasked with ensuring the campaign's successful execution and monitoring its progress. The campaign emphasizes the importance of environmentally friendly practices, such as avoiding the burning of electronic devices or throwing them into general waste.
Under the campaign, schools will distribute posters, banners, and Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) materials to teach students about the environmental and health risks associated with e-waste. It is crucial that students understand the need to dispose of old mobile phones, computers, and other electronic devices through authorized channels rather than discarding them improperly.
To ensure the campaign's effectiveness, District Inspectors of Schools and District Basic Education Officers must focus on student participation, e-waste collection, and arrangements for transferring the collected waste to authorized recyclers or refurbishers. Concerned officials will also be responsible for providing detailed information about campaign-related activities in the prescribed format and ensuring online reporting through the designated portal.
The state government, under CM Yogi Adityanath's leadership, is committed to instilling environmental protection values in students and fostering responsible citizenship.
