Corroboration: 2 independent outlets

Uttar Pradesh and Delhi have announced separate e-waste awareness drives in schools, but for different dates and under different programmes. The Yogi Adityanath government in UP will hold Special Campaign-6 on 28 October, with activities, quizzes and e-waste collection at all state schools, directed by district education officers. The Delhi government, under its Samagra Shiksha scheme, will undertake initiatives to teach students about e-waste segregation, recycling and disposal through authorised agencies. Officials said the programme follows earlier efforts including a November 2025 collection drive and a year-long sustainability programme from 2025. The UP drive is scheduled for 28 October, the Delhi initiative does not name a specific date.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Freepressjournal.in and Times of India both report school e-waste awareness drives, but for different states, making this not the same single event. There is no conflict to reconcile because the two outlets cover separate government initiatives, one in Uttar Pradesh and one in Delhi. Each article presents a straightforward, neutral account of its respective state's plan, with no discernible slant or critical framing. The balanced reading is that both governments are pursuing similar environmental education campaigns independently. The key numbers to watch are October 28 for the Uttar Pradesh campaign and the outcomes of the Delhi programme, whose future activities and student participation figures are not yet specified.
