I fail to understand that why we are talking about electronic goods and batteries where as we are failing to remove the garbage from roads and colonies. Swachh bharat mission is a mission where no change is observed since one year upto 2nd october. It is a mission where politicians have got photographed  cleaning for cheap popularity and nothing else. Entire city is dirty as it was earlier. Only change is that on 2nd october,main roads were cleaned and garbage dumped in inner colonies . On Monday, 14 September 2015 11:35 AM, Swachh Bharat Mission wrote: more  
please focus on less generation (reducing) of hazardous waste that is the only solution to reduce the carbon more  
Waste management is a rapidly growing problem in our country specifically in urban areas. First problem is lack of consciousness about hazardous effect of waste. Second is there is very little effective legal punishment for mismanagement of waste for people who are consciously doing so. It's an emergency need to educate and to develop infrastructure involving concerned people, organizations both public and private. I think Swachh Bharat Mission is the right vision taken. Only need is to involve more people specifically more young people. We can move to schools, colleges and other institutions along with others. more  
There should be buy-back centres in each town/gram panchayat for all types of waste except the green waste that can be composted. E-waste should be then sent to recycling factories like the one in Roorkee and not given to kabadis who are not equipped to recover precious but polluting metals from them. more
