Question

ASSOCHAM, the Associated Chambers of Commerce & Industry of India along with Frost & Sullivan, a global consulting firm recently conducted a research on “Electronic Waste Management in India” and released a report on the current e-waste scenario on the eve of the World Earth Day. According to the report, India produces nearly 12.5 lakh metric tonnes (MT) of electronic waste every year. This quantity is expected to reach up to 15 lakh metric tonnes (MT) per year by 2015.

The ASSOCHAM report says – “In India, about 4.5 lakh child labours between the age group of 10-14 are observed to be engaged in various e-waste (electronic waste) activities, without adequate protection and safeguards in various yards and recycling workshops.”

Speaking at the release of the report, D. S. Rawat, Secretary General ASSOCHAM, said that local scrap dealers in the informal recycling industry hire children to dismantle electronic waste without any concern for their health or any regulations against child labour. Emphasizing the current child labour situation in the unorganized e-waste recycling sector, he highlighted the urgent need for strict laws and regulations to prevent child labour in e-waste collection, segregation and distribution activities.
