The Government of India is going ahead with e-Governance implementation vigorously. Research & development proposals are being sought from premier academic institutions too. India is one of the fastest growing Information Technology (IT) markets in the world and also the fastest growing personal computer market in the Asia-Pacific region. Almost half of IT hardware in India is consumed by the government in the operations as well as in various projects and programs. Inevitably, rapidly increasing computer waste is becoming the most significant of electronic waste (e-waste) being generated in India. This work proposes and reasons out the need of a national level inventory maintenance system in a uniform format; also reasoning out several benefits for the government including monitoring of the e-waste scenario.
