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.

Jago grahak jago ! ! (BEFORE BUYING ANYTHING) 1 - take REVIEWS from ur friends about the products which are costly on ur pocket. 2- new product's SMALLEST possible package for self- testing. 3- buy only when it is very NECESSARY. 4-COMPARE it with other same ones.

Modi ji can you somehow stop bollywood from spreading anti hindu philosophy. Imagine P.K. movie is released in pakistan amirkhan would be in jail. गाल पर हिन्दू भगवान की जगह अगर गुरुगोबिंद सिंह या मुहम्मद की फ़ोटो चिपकाई होती तो अब तक भारत में दंगे हो चुके होते।

#swachh bharat : I have a suggestion for removing littering habbits on roadside by general public...there should be dust bins kept at appropriate distances on side of roadways so that everybody is obliged to throw waste materials directly in those bins..and littering on public places eventually decreases..

India is undergoing rapid nutritional transition.CHILDREN are increasingly consuming high-saturated-fat snacks, refined carbohydrates and sweetened carbonated beverages.There is an increased inclination to replace traditional meals with energy-dense imbalanced foods. Such dietary patterns with inadequate physical activity trigger the onset of fat deposition and lead to early metabolic derangements such as the DIABESITY. Hence Lets protect our future & HEAL-(healthy eating&Active living) together

voluntary consumer organization are relevant but to serve purpose consumer awareness campaign needed much deeper penetration at the university and community level to ignite the consumer rights and misleading advertisement and products.people get carried away easily without evaluating pros and cons to commercial ads their is need to be a role of interventionist authority for market advertisement infatuation. government can create kiosks for product viability .

digital india- all govt departments, autonomous bodies should increase use of IT. By doing work of files, records and disemination of information etc thru online mode. paper work should be minimised. this will improve green environment by saving trees also becos saving paper is saving trees. Income tax departments have brought the system of e filing , this has reduced the paper work. similiarly all data to be provided to various departments including IT department should be soft copies

all vacancies in govt and autonomous bodies should be filled. Many of our essential services bodies are not able to perform due to shortage of staff. eg police department. there is shortage of staff , hence not able to control and reduce the increasing crime rate in cities,metros and other areas. there is a ban on filling up new posts, this needs to be reviewed. Further the practice of giving employment to govt pensioners in the autonomous bodies and govt departments should be minimised.
