Practical training program at the Consumer Dispute Redressal Commission: Consumer Club

On March 1, 2024, Consumer education Certificate course students attended a practical training program at the Consumer Dispute Redressal Commission at Mannagudda. Students interacted with Prof. Lingaraju.

Consumer dispute redressal: The Commission is a special-purpose commission that deals with consumer complaints, disputes, and grievances. It was established to protect the rights of consumers in India. Consumers can file a case against a seller or service provider if they feel cheated or exploited. The purpose of establishing a separate forum for consumer disputes was to ensure speedy resolution of disputes with minimum inconvenience and expense to consumers.

A case can be filed by one or more consumers, any registered association, central or state Government, or any representative of the consumer.
