ABOUT US

Ground Reality, Not Just E-Waste Theory

Real stories and responsible action led by youth across neighborhoods in Indore, Madhya Pradesh.

Born from Youth Action in Indore

E-Waste Ki Baat started when young leaders in Indore noticed unused mobile phones, chargers, and batteries piling up in urban households.

After years of witnessing the limitations of treating symptoms alone, they combined their decades of experience to craft programs that address the root causes of imbalance.

What Did We Notice?

Problem sirf e-waste ka nahi hai; old devices stay forgotten in drawers because people lack simple recycling pathways and localized awareness about dangerous heavy metals.

By turning abstract environmental theory into local habits, we empower citizens to make responsible choices daily.
