## THE MINISTER OF STATE CONSUMER AFFAIRS, FOOD AND PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION (SHRI C. R. CHAUDHARY)

(a) & (b) : Yes,  Madam.  Enactment  of  Consumer  Protection  Act,  1986  has  set  in  motion  a veritable consumer movement in the country. Under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986, a three tier quasi-judiciary machinery has been set up at District, State and Central levels for better protection of the  interests  of  consumers  and  to  provide  simple  and  speedy  redressal  of  consumer  disputes.  The consumer fora are empowered to give relief of a specific nature and award, wherever appropriate, compensation to consumers.

A  countrywide  multimedia  'Consumer  Awareness'  campaign  titled  'Jago  Grahak  Jago'  is being  conducted  on  various  issues  related  to  consumer  rights  and  responsibilities  across  diverse subjects. The States/UT have been actively associated in the programme especially in expanding the geographic reach of the campaign on consumer awareness.

The  Department  also  operates  the  Consumer  Welfare  Fund  to  strengthen  the  Consumer Movement  in  the  country  by  way  of  financial  assistance  to  the  State/UTs,  VCOs/NGOs  to  raise awareness amongst consumers and as also to educational institutes for research on consumer issues and running of centres on consumer studies.

The details of the funds allocated during the last three years under 'Strengthening Consumer Fora', and 'Consumer Awareness' campaign are given State/UT wise at Annexure A.

- (c) : The details of funds released under the Consumer Welfare Fund to the agencies/NGOs/VCOs involved in the consumer movement are given at Annexure B .
