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.

I suggest that all misleading advertisements against which a complain has been registered should be well examined by the officials and strict actions should be taken against them. It will be a good message for others doing such crime.

A New censor team should be created by our central government to approve & certify the advertisements which will be telecast-ed in any television channels!!! With out the certificate no advertisements should be telecast-ed by TV channels. If it is telecast-ed the TV channels should be banned with immediate effect

District-wise Voluntary Consumer Organisation to tackle misleading advertisements is a great idea. But unless it is given powers, it are useless. This power too has to be controlled by some superior power. As i suggested in one of my previous post, its better to educate and aware general public(specially youths) to monitor advertisements, of which they can report the misleading ones to the organisations. The organisation then can review the reported advertisements and take appropriate actions.

Dear Modi Ji, Request you to give a call to the nation on Waste Management ......Tonnes of food and food materials like Rice, Wheat and all other items are getting wasted by the public by their negligence and lazyness especially starting from road side food sellers to big hotels, restaurants, dhabas and especially in functions of high end people. Prevention is better than cure. Its better to preserve instead of suffering with scarcity of food & food materials as there may be a shortage of rains

Awareness to public to react to misleading advertisements so that when the companies involve in too much of legal disputes they themselves get back from making misleading advertisements

Modi Ji your governance is great but I feel more strict rules should be followed so that actions taken by you are just not on papers. It's very imp that you give role to more effective,honest, and sincere people so that they are aware and more dedicated towards their duties.its very essential that you make a right selection based on their background, education, and deeds. It's one of the major faults in any governance if the selection of the rest of the team is not done accurately.
