Awareness activities were organised at Government Inter College Anupur Dibai in Hapur under Special Campaign 6.0 on e-waste, or electronic waste. The campaign focused on the proper management and safe disposal of e-waste, along with increasing awareness about environmental protection. All school staff and students participated enthusiastically in the programme.

Principal Dhanpal Singh said that the use of mobile phones, computers, batteries, chargers and other electronic devices is increasing rapidly in the current digital age.

Amit Kumar Sharma, the nodal officer of the school’s Eco Club, said that the scientific and safe disposal of e-waste is an important environmental need today. He said old mobile phones, computers, batteries and other electronic devices should not be thrown or burnt in the open.

Instead, such electronic waste should be taken to authorised e-waste collection centres or recycling centres for proper disposal, he said.

Assistant teacher Anand Kumar Tripathi said that the increasing generation of e-waste has become a serious environmental challenge.

During the programme, all the teachers, employees and students of the school participated in the activities. Through their participation, they conveyed a message about the proper management of e-waste and the need to remain aware of a clean environment.
