E-waste management is anecological, technological and social necessity in these days of rampant use and obsolescence of electronic goods, especially computers and mobile phones. In this context, each region in the world has its own problem areas. Hence area specific solution techniques also should exist. In this vein, it is proposed thatregional need, local talent and indigenous technology be made miscible in an e-waste management school. This proposal is based on the belief that only sustained efforts coupled with directional education can extract the best from this trilateral meeting point. Accordingly, a suitable infrastructure, governance pattern and community living are proposed. The course and curriculum design, the teaching learning process visualized and the human resource deployment are also discussed. An analysisof the economics of the proposal lends authenticity to the proposal
