Question

How did consumer movement originate as a ‘social force’ in India?(All India - 2014)

Answer 1

THE consumer movement arose out of dissatisfaction of the consumers as many unfair practices were being indulged in by the sellers. There was no legal system available to the consumers to protect them. Rampant food shortages, hoarding, black marketing, adulteration of food and edible oil also led to consumer movement.Apr
