  1. A.Effective collection, segregation and disposal of e-waste
  2. B.Paperless offices and digital signatures
  3. C.Plastic free government premises
  4. D.Energy audit of public buildings

Correct answer

A. Effective collection, segregation and disposal of e-waste

Explanation

The correct answer is the effective collection, segregation and disposal of electronic waste. The campaign this year gives special weight to identifying and clearing e-waste in keeping with the E-Waste (Management) Rules of 2022, alongside the optimisation of office space, the disposal of scrap and redundant items, record management and the timely settlement of public grievances. Option B names a reform direction the government pursues in other ways but not the theme announced for this edition. Option C and option D describe environmental measures that sound close to the drive yet are not what the campaign has been built around this year. For exams, pair the theme with the rules that govern it, since a question often asks which rules apply to the disposal of electronic waste in government offices.
