Thrust of computing was initially on faster analysis and speedier calculation and solving of mare complex problems. But in the recent past another focus has got immense importance and that is achievement of energy efficiency, minimization of power consumption of e-equipments. It has also given utmost attention to minimization of e-waste and use of non-toxic materials in preparation of e-equipments. World leaders have also taken move towards this by following some principles. Now it is the time for the end user community to follow some rules of thumb to achieve partly the benefit of “Green Computing”. In India, the implement-ability of principle of “Green Computing” is facing a dilemma due to many socio-economic matters and those are linked to be soughed out to pull India in the mainstream movement of “Green Computing”.
