Jagrut Grahak Mandal-Patan
Consumer information Center- Patan
Jagrut Grahak Mandal-Patan, set up in 1985, is a non-political, non-profit and non-government Consumer Information Center- Patanorganisation dedicated to the education and empowerment of consumers as well as promotion and protection of consumer interests through effective uses of education, research, the media, and law.
Beginning with a protest against a bus fare hike, Consumer Information Center- Patan (CIC-P) started handling complaints of ordinary consumers who could not take on the might of business. Consumer Information Center- Patan (CIC)has three major goals – to make consumers aware of their rights, to help them protect themselves and to make providers of goods and services accountable.
Its activities include, besides comparative testing of products, complaints handling, legal advice and litigation, consumer education and awareness programmes, library and information service, publication, advocacy, investor and environment protection.
Today, with 37 years of service to the consumer behind it, Consumer Information Center- Patan (CIC) looks forward with determination to doing far more in the future than it has already done.
Even though strong and clear laws exist in India to protect the consumer, investor, Health and investor.the actual plight of Indian people could be declared as completely dismal. Very few consumers are aware of their rights or understand their basic rights. Of the several laws that have been enacted to protect the rights of consumers in India, the most significant is the Consumer Protection Act, 1986. Under this law, everyone, including individuals, a Hindu undivided family, a firm, and a company can exercise their consumer rights for the goods and services purchased by them. It is important that, as consumers, we know at least our basic rights and about the courts and procedures that deal with the infringement of our rights.
