Abstract

The consumer is the one who pays something to consume goods and avail themselves of services offered. As such, consumers play a vital role in the economic system of our nation. Without consumer demand, producers would lack one of the key motivations to produce or to sell any product. The consumer also forms a part of the chain of distribution. This study is related to the consumer protection and the ways for ensuring consumer rights. The study on consumer protection improves the knowledge of consumers. This study aims at examining the socially responsible activities, and the need for assessing the role of smaller units in protecting the rights of consumers. Further, there is always a question about increasing concern for consumer distress and how good are the remedies. Any substantial change in the Consumer Protection Act would need a matching appraisal of the whole problem and the relief is a product of such appraisal.
