Abstract: This study explores the relationship between Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) and electronic waste management. As economies grow and technological advancements continue, the generation of electronic waste (e-waste) has increased significantly, posing environmental and health challenges worldwide. This research aims to examine whether higher GSDP levels correlate with improved e-waste management practices and to identify potential policy implications. This study adopts a mixed-method approach, combining quantitative analysis of GDP data and e-waste generation with qualitative assessments of e-waste management policies in different states in India. Data is collected from international databases, governmental reports, and academic literature. Statistical analyses are performed to assess the association between GDP and e-waste generation, considering factors such as population density, urbanization, and industrialization.

Keywords: Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP), electronic waste management, e-waste generation, environmental challenges
