Following are the strategies adopted by the

consumers
(i) Enactment of COPRA Under this Act, a
three-tier judicial machinery at the district,
state and national levels was set up for
redressal of consumer disputes. The Act
enables the consumers to represent them in
consumer courts.
(ii) RTI Act, In October 2005, the Government
of India enacted Right to Information Act
(RTI) which ensures the citizens all the
information about the functions of
government departments and people can ask
and make complaints on issues like bad roads,
poor water and health facilities, government
jobs and their status etc.

organisations like ISI, Agmark or Hallmark
which develop quality standards for many
products.
They provide logos and certificates that help
consumers get assured of quality while
purchasing the goods and services.
