In the past, Consumer Day events have been conducted in a ritualistic manner to discuss Consumer Protection Act and to claim that consumers should be treated as “kings in the private sector and as master’s in public sector”. But, we fail to discuss why the reality is very different.
This year, Mysore Grahakara Parishat (MGP) has decided to adapt a totally different approach in the celebration of Consumer Day involving schools, colleges, Trade Associations, government offices to take this activity in a more practical way to develop their own strategies and to replace talks.
Already, the MGP has contacted several institutions and printed posters to promote responsible citizenship using the occasion. Some of them have already developed some good ideas, a press release said here.
