Question

life any three main features of consumer movement in India

Answer 1

There were many factors that gave birth to the
consumer movement in India. It started as a
social force with the need to protect the
consumers against unfair and unethical trade
practices being followed by many retailers and
manufacturers. These included creating
artificial shortages, hoarding cereals and other
agricultural products, black marketing of goods
and adulteration of cooking oils and food
items. Till 1986, consumer organizations were
highlighting issues by writing articles in
newspapers and magazines about these bad
practices of merchants.
