OTHER INITIATIVES TO PROMOTE CONSUMER PROTECTION

Because of the importance and urgency of consumer protection, countries all over the world including our own, have instituted several measures. The Government of India has instituted a Consumer Welfare Fund (CWF) in 1992 with the view to providing financial assistance to protect and promote the welfare of the consumers, developing consumer awareness and strengthening the consumer movement in the country, especially in rural areas. The fund set up by the Department of Revenue under the Central Excise and Salt Act, 1994, is administered by the Department of Consumer Affairs and Public Distribution System, Ministry of Civil Supplies.
