JAMMU: A Mega Awareness Drive held at Govt High School Katal Batal Zone Dansal (Cluster Nagrota) on e-waste hosted by Global Human Rights Trust India in association with our school. The programme was attended by the large number of students. The programme was presided over by Niaz Kousar Headmaster of the school. The speakers focussed on the e-waste and judicious use of the e waste and recycling.
The programme was addressed by Dr H R Rehaman Managing Director Global Human rights Trust India. Electronic waste (e-waste) is a rapidly developing environmental problem particularly for the most developed countries. There are technological solutions for processing it, but these are costly, and the cheaper option for most developed countries has been to export most of the waste to less developed countries. There are various laws and policies for regulating the processing of e-waste at different governance scales such as the international Basel Convention, the regional Bamoko Convention, and various national laws. However, many of the regulations are not fully implemented.
