Consumer Protection Act (1986)
The consumer protection act was passed by the Parliament in 1986.The act came into force on 15th April, 1987.In 1993, the act was amended for the first time. Thereafter, it was further amended in 2003. This Act extends to the whole of India except to the state of Jammu and Kashmir.
‘Consumer protection’ refers to protect the consumers against unfair trade practices such as adulteration of consumer-goods, misleading advertisement, under-weight, over changing etc. of the manufacturers and sellers.
Consumer is the user of goods & services who pays for the goods & services which he uses and is entitled to expect the quality and nature of goods & services promised to him by the seller. Manufacturers owe a duty to the ultimate consumer taking care in making their goals where there is no likelihood of their being examined before they reach the ultimate consumer. In today’s mass production economy there is a little contact between seller & consumer in a difficult positions with very few avenues for redressal. The intense competition satisfaction and hence by and large the principles of “Consumer is King” is now expected- a transition from the principles of ‘eaveate emptor’ to ‘caveate vinditor’.
How is consumer exploited? There are many ways by which consumers are exploited. A few of them are:
1. Selling at higher prices -- The price charged for the product will not be proportionate to the quality;
2. Product risk -- Drugs that are hazardous, banned or beyond expiry date, electrical appliances with inadequate safety precautions, etc.
3. Adulteration -- This is very common in food items and could prove to be highly injurious to one's health.
4. Sub-standard Products -- Items whose quality is far below the required standard.
5. False Claims -- Manufacturers make false representations about their products in the media with a view to mislead the consumers.
6. Warranty/Annual Maintenance Contract --In many cases, though the product will have a warranty or will be under annual maintenance contract (AMC), when a problem arises, the consumer is told that certain parts will not be covered and they will have to pay.
The Consumer Protection Act, 1986, is definitely a blessing for consumers wronged by manufacturers or dealers. Numerous complaints about defective goods have been heard by consumer fora over the years. Though recourse is available to consumers through this benign legislation, manufacturers and dealers should realise their

In the last decades the uncontrolled impact of industrial activities on the natural
environment has created critical ecological concerns. The aggravation of phenomena like
climate change, ozone depletion, over exploitation of natural resources, air pollution, and
toxic wastes are harming the sustainable development of the planet and of the economic
system. For marketers, environmentalism has become a criterion influencing customer
purchase behaviour. Environmentally responsible consumption Follows & Jobber (2000)
emanated from criticism that the marketing concept ignored the impact of individual
consumption upon the society as a whole. Terms like green marketing and green
customer have evolved and a lot of work is being done to understand the awareness levels
of the customer, their attitudes towards the green products and their willingness to accept
and pay a premium for the green products.
Every year people living on the earth throw away enough garbage to cover a huge part of
the world. Most of the waste ends up in landfills which are very costly and which may
have a major impact on the environment and on the health of the people living on this
planet. Saving the environment has become a big issue in recent times. The messages are
being promoted as REDUCE, RE-USE and RECYCLE. The latest is that we can shop our
way to a healthier planet. Over the years, it is told to us that cool cars would make us free
and diet soda would make us popular. But there is some things money and advertising
can’t buy, and a clean environment is one of them. The hard fact is that global warming,
deforestation and other earthly ills cannot be solved by switching brands. It takes
resources to manufacture and transport all products, even those made from recycled
content. More often, it is greener to follow the old dictum: reduce, reuse, and recycle.
Even if the phrase 3Rs has been heard a thousand times before, but with the "green" word
now co-opted in the sales of services, the three R's are a phrase and a principle worth
reviving.
This study focuses on consumers and consumer behaviour in relation to environmental
friendly products. It starts from the assumption that environmental problems are closely
related to individual consumer behaviour, and that individual behaviour is one of the
major causes for the existing environmental problems. Without substantial changes, in
the long term these consumption practices present a serious threat to the environment and
to society as a whole.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

3. A consumer is the most important visitor on our premises. He is
not dependent on us, we are on him. He is not an interruption
to our work, he is the purpose of it. We are not doing a favour
to a consumer by giving him an opportunity. He is doing us a
favour by giving us opportunity to serve him”
-Mahatma Gandhi

SERVICES .
A PERSON WHO BUYS GOOD FOR BUSINESS OR
