Abstract: Like the rest of the world, e-waste is growing at a fast pace in India. Unfortunately, e-waste in India is largely handled by the unorganised sector that adopts crude practices to dispose and recycle the e-wastes. This result to damage to the environment, as well as health hazards for the people handling them. Taking cognisance of the situation, the Government of India notified the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2016 for scientific and environmentally responsible management of e-wastes in India. These rules were amended further in 2018 to be called the E-waste (Management) Amendment Rules, 2018. Government establishments are expected to comply with the Rules. This study attempts to understand the compliance of the Rules in the Government of Assam Offices at Dibrugarh, India. The study reveals that the compliance of the E-waste (Management) Rules in the Government of Assam offices at Dibrugarh is nothing to write about and much needs to be done.
