(b) Discuss consumer movement in India
Ans.:
Consumer Movement in India
Consumer exploitation is the main force which drove for the consumer movement in
India. A consumer movement is definitely less radical than any other radical movement of
mass action. This movement may be described as the collective power of consumers to take
a country forward with respect to awareness, education and development.
The co-operative consumer movement was started in 1904 in India. The focus of this
movement was only on distribution of goods rather than on the welfare of consumer. There
are a few consumer associations in some important cities.
Consumer Guidance Society of India
In 1966, nine housewives and social workers got together and formed the `Consumer
Guidance Society of India’ (CGSI) in Mumbai, so as to protect the interest of consumers. It
has now thousands of members and several branches. This society conducted tests on
various foodstuffs for adulteration and consumer products for substandard performance. ISI
certificate of food colours demanded by this society is now mandatory.
Commerce – II 3

During 1966, under the able leadership of late J.R.D. Tata and Rama Krishna Bajaj
and same progressive manufacturers and traders came together and formed the Fair Trade
Practices Association in Mumbai. The main objects of this association are to codify existing
trade practices and to set up effective machinery for their implementation in an organised
way so as to create public confidence in business community. In 1974, Sri Bindu Madhav
Joshi started Akhil Bharatiya Gnhak Panchayat in Pune. This organisation organised
consumer agitation successfully in Maharashtra.
Many consumer organisations have come up in almost all parts of the country after
1975. In 1978, the Consumer Education and Research Centre was set up in Ahmedabad. It
is a public trust. In appropriate cases this organisation files petitions, writs and complaints in
the Supreme Court, High Court, the Monopolicies and Restrictive trade practices
commission. The other association which are protecting the interest of consumers in India
include Consumer Unity and Trust society, Calcultta, Consumer Education Centre,
Hyderabad and Karnataka, Consumer Service society, Bangalore.
Present status :
Today, there are a number of voluntary associations, operating in our country. If
consumer organisations join together to form larger confederations, it is hoped that the
consumer movements will gain momentum to solve the problems of consumers. If the
Government Protects its citizens till awareness is generated, there is no doubt that the
consumer movement in our country will develop and catch momentum in its real spirit.
