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.

Recently I complained against the advt of Lava mobile.When a boy is laying above a girl, the father of the girl, suddenly enters the room and boy goes behind the doors. He is with his shoes in his hand. His mobiles rings. Without understanding the grave situation, the girl's father asks the girl, what is the price of the mobile and get surprised with that. It is a shame on our part encourage such advt. I complained to the advt. fourm. They simply rejected my complaint. The advt. still goes on.

Sir Transparency should be visible in all facets of governance, especially, in autonomous bodies carrying out research, where a director has no checks and balances. I feel, especially, rule book should be followed strictly in the areas of civil engineering, accounts and purchase. Vigilance should be preventive. As mentioned by you, e-governance will be a good tool, in curbing corruption, if implemented in true-spirit.

Each state in India should have its own "Economic Development Think Tank". This may have administrative office at a university, IIM or IIT. Each state in India is bigger than some countries. We need local economic development initiatives and protection for local new developing infant industries. Local handicrafts and local tourism initiatives. Each state develop its own socio-economic rural-urban development agenda. Economic Development Think tank discussions should be public and regular.

voluntary consumer organisations tackling menace of misleading advertisements is a welcome move but needs to be regulated because of societies bitter experience with extremist womens right group who malign and distroy men who are caught in false cases such wrong cases such things decreases sensitivity of society and when there is real victim who needs justice that victim might not get it, so a cautious but judicious approach is necessary as laws are often used to settle scores.
