Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 4

Abstract

The consumer movement in India is as old as trade and commerce. In Kautilya‟s Arthashastra, there are references to the concept of consumer protection against exploitation by the trade and industry, short weighment and measures, adulteration and punishment for these offences. Awareness of consumer rights varies in different regions in the country. It is very poor especially among the population in rural and far-flung areas of the country. Compared to the developed countries, the levels of consumer awareness in such a vast country with a large population like India is much lower. The consumer has to be aware of his rights and play a key role. The success of consumerism is a strong function of consumer awareness and to avoid exploitation consumer must become knowledgeable, In this paper I have discussed about the awareness of consumer production act in tamilnadu.
