Answer 2

Answer:

The objective of consumer movement is to safeguard the interest of the consumers and there are various ways to strengthen the consumer movement.  

Explanation:

There are innumerable malpractices going up against the consumers like black marketing, hoarding, unfair and deceptive trade practices, defective goods, negligence as to 'safety standards' and many more. Therefore,  it becomes necessary for the customers to unite against this conspiring behavior and seek redressal through the common platform set up by the government by the enactment of the 'Consumer Protection Act, 1986'.  

The act helps control and regulate malpractices against the consumers and makes them aware of their rights.

• The government plays a pivotal role to strengthen the movement by stringent laws and it's implementation.  
• Business association can also promote the cause by advertising and spreading more information in this respect.  
• Consumer organisations can spread more awareness by educating customers about their basic rights and ensuring that their grievances are redressed.  
• Self-regulation on the part of sellers and others engaging in such malpractices is imperative. They should make sure that the compulsory certifications and approvals are made to ensure the quality of 'goods and services'.  
• Consumer awareness is 'essential' for the consumers to know their best interests and that they are protected.
