Question

What are consumer associations?

Answer 1

Answer:

Consumers Association of India (CAI) is a membership-based organisation with 8,000 registered members all over India. Its main objectives are: spreading consumer awareness; empowering consumers and teaching them their responsibilities and rights as consumers. CAI regularly conducts seminars, workshops and training programmes and publishes various consumer guides on a variety of topics, which are of interest to consumers.

A new division of CAI was established in March 2007 to help consumers affected by cyber crimes in collaboration with Cyber Society of India. CAI has also set up a mini drug lab to test spurious drugs in association with its sister organisation, CONCERT.
