Misleading advertisements covers all sectors of business across the country. The vulnerable sections of the society living in the backward and rural areas are the worst sufferers. To tackle the menace of misleading advertisements in such areas, the roles of VCOs are perceived to be of great importance. The VCOs working in various parts of the country with their experience in handling consumer related issues may help identifying misleading advertisements and suggest appropriate action to the consumers, State Governments and local self-Governments.

Suggestions are invited on the role of the voluntary consumer organisations in tackling the menace of Misleading Advertisements.

The last date for submission of your comments is 23rd January 2015.

we can make laws against media only who are airing ads without verifying result of a product. second as there is a censor board for films there can be a body to analyse, verify results and then permission to air an ad. third is consumers become so aware hoe to put complains. BUT ISSUE IS CORRUPT CONSUMER FORUM JUDGES. THEY TAKE BRIBES FROM PRODUCT SELLER AND GIVE VERDICT ALWAYS IN HIS FAVOUR. CONSUMER GETS BENEFIT ONLY IF JUDGE DOES NOT GET MONEY FROM PRODUCT SELLER. AS THESE JUDGES ARE APPOINTE

Although this is not related to the above topic I want to draw attention to a very neglected area of providing constant help and assistance to those sports persons and jawans who have been great achievers during their golden period but are now finding it difficult to make their both ends meet. I think a separate official under some ministry should be appointed who keeps track these persons and helps them.

National ID is very much required for each citizen to avail his rights including Jan Dhan Yojna. It may be issued through automate database which will accept all government verified ids such as passports,aadhar card,election id.In the next phases all systems including penalty and subsidies can be linked to individual's national id.

The voluntary consumer organisations in each areas can check the nature of the advertisements, and should register the company, related to the ad. and shall follow the activities of that company, regarding the ad. and should take necessary legal action against the company, if they failed to do the said things to the public.The police should support the organisation, and should not go against the organisation, by means of corruption. The police should support the organisation for their needs

सबसे पहले तो एसे विगाप्नों को बंद करना चाहिए जिनसे समाज में नग्नता फैलती है जैसे की Slice Mango Juice के विज्ञापन में कटरीना के रसीले होठ दिखना नल की टोंटी और बाथ शावर के विज्ञापन में औरत को पीछे से नग्न दिखाना इस तरह की अश्लीलता और अन्य भ्रामक बातों को रोकने के लिए विज्ञापन सेंसर बोर्ड के अलावा भी स्वैच्छिक उपभोक्ता संगठन भी होना चाहिए जो विज्ञापन के साथ समाज में जा रहे सन्देश को भी समझ और नियंत्रित कर सके| एसे विज्ञापन घर के वातावरण में कामुकता घोलते है और धीमे धीमे योन-मानसिक बीमारी बनते है|
