    CONSUMER

    A consumer is someone who buys a thing for his or


    her personal use and consumes it. A consumer
    cannot resale the good, product, or service, but he
    or she can use it to support himself or herself. A
    customer is any individual or group of individuals
    who, in addition to the buyer of the product or
    services, consumes the product with his or her
    permission. To put it another way, the consumer is
    the person who uses the goods or services.
    CONSUMER IN THE
    MARKETPLACE
    ●The market is not always a fair playing field, and consumers, even in
    great
    numbers, are dispersed. This permits consumers to be exploited by
    producers who are few but large and powerful.
    ● Informal moneylenders are a good example of this. Farmer Swapna, for
    example, had borrowed money and agreed to sell the product to them at
    a
    considerably reduced price. She was also compelled to sell her land after
    she failed to repay the money on time. This demonstrates how market
    consumers can be addressed.
    ● Markets are inherently unjust since there are a few huge producers
    with a
    lot of power and a lot of tiny consumers who may or may not know each
    other.
    CONSUMER IN THE
    MARKETPLACE
    ●Large corporations find it easier to engage in unethical business
    practises and propagate false information through advertising and
    spending
    money.
    ● With vast monetary and social resources, they may fabricate a
    tale in their
    favour, regardless of fact. Companies, for example, promoted milk
    powder
    as the finest supplement for infants, even over mother's milk, and
    tobacco
    commercials, which are destructive to people's lives.
    ● Adulteration and other malpractices, such as erroneous weight
    measures,
    are other ways in which vendors might take advantage of
    customers.
    CONSUMER MOVEMENT
    • People were dissatisfied with the rampant production
    malpractices. There were no existing rules or regulations that
    penalised such behaviour among the public. The consumer was
    responsible for making a thoughtful purchase, and they avoided
    buying from sellers/goods with whom they had a terrible
    experience. Consumer movements started because of
    widespread dissatisfaction with such practises. The consumer
    movement as a "social force" in India arose from the need to
    safeguard and promote consumers' interests against unethical
    and unfair trade practises. As a result of all these efforts, the
    Indian government took a huge step forward in 1986. It is
    responsible for enforcing the Consumer Protection Act of1986,
    also known as COPRA.
    CONSUMER INTERNATIONAL

    • The UN Guidelines for Consumer Protection were


    adopted by the United Nations in 1985. This was
    a mechanism for countries to enact consumer
    protection laws, as well as for consumer advocacy
    groups to pressure their governments to do so.
    This has formed the cornerstone for consumer
    activism on a global scale.
