Consumers are becoming more ecologically conscious and desirous of purchasing friendly i.e. eco friendly. The present study is an attempt to investigate consumer perception and attitude towards green or eco friendly among women population. The core idea of this study is to examine the attitude and awareness among people on the usage of eco friendly and how consumers would be helping the if they switch over to such. The data has been collected from 96 respondents of different areas. This paper identifies that consumers are not exposed enough to eco-friendly and suggests promoting and selling that are al friendly and function effectively. The pricing strategies adopted and the sources through which the can be made available should be consumer friendly. The paper suggests that the Indian market could be exploited more within consumer groups that have better al values. Keywords: Consumer Perception, attitude, eco-friendly INTRODUCTION Every consumer's understanding of what a can give them depends on how well the market has understood them. But eventually both are inter dependent on the other. The consumer needs are to be satisfied by the markets and markets needs to earn and sustain are undeniably on the hands of the consumer. Consumers have varying likes and dislikes. Their understanding of the creates an attitude which they exhibit during its purchase. One of the prime reasons for conducting market research is to understand consumer attitudes. Attitudes affect behaviour. In marketing, the desired behaviour is to purchase a or service. Marketers need to know what attitudinal barriers exist in purchasing so they can strategize how to encounter those obstacles through marketing activities. Perception refers to the awareness among the consumers with respect to a or a service; their idea or understanding of the same. Elements such as price, specifications, purchasing contracts and a customer s personal interpretation of a company s brand and reputation are all significant influences on a s overall performance and create a valuable perception. Eco-friendly are such that do not harm the either through its manufacture or consumption. With the growing importance given to protecting the, it is essential that consumers as well as marketers promote green marketing. In India women population have had greater influence on the purchase decision making of commodities. Since house hold management has been largely taken by women, it is ideal that they be the target population of our study. REVIEW OF LITERATURE The role of marketing has become a matter of discussion as lifestyles and consumption patterns in the industrialized world are a major originator of al damage. The core idea of green marketing is to create awareness among people on the al issues and how consumers would be helping the if they switch over to ecofriendly. Marketer should take initiative keeping in the mind that consumer are concerned and willing to do their bit towards protection through effective promotional strategies towards consumer and educate them on their usage and protection. Consumer Awareness and Perception towards Green Products: A Study of Youngsters in India by Sanjeev Kumar, Radha Garg and Anita Makkar (2012) identifies that marketers are the stakeholders in educating the consumers towards being a green consumer. According to the study conducted by Bhatia, Mayank and Jain, Amit on Green Marketing: A Study of Consumer Perception and Preferences in India (2013), the consumers had a positive influence on the purchase of ecofriendly based on the awareness created by marketing companies towards green marketing and had a positive impact on consumer persuasion to buy and prefer green over conventional. Eco-label is considered as a major tool in identifying eco-friendly FMCG. The study conducted by Nagaraju, B.,Thejaswini H.D on Consumers' perception analysis -Market awareness towards eco friendly FMCG -A case study of Mysore district (2014) showed they were identifying the eco-friendly FMCG through the eco-label and therefore it could be considered as a major tool for Environmental marketing. The personal consumption decision is of growing interest of firms in various fields and some firms have changed their corporate culture to be more ally responsible, and have developed eco-friendly consumer goods to meet the demand of conscious consumers. Consumer Perception Regarding Eco-Friendly Fast Moving Consumer Goods in India by Sachdev, S. and Mahna, V. (2014) lays emphasis on the usage of green household and personal care to promote a healthy and a green lifestyle. Eco-friendly are good for the and are also healthy for the consumers. Their quality and performance are better than the conventional. This is evident from the conclusion given by Sachdev, S. and International Journal of Research in Engineering, IT and Social Sciences Page 33

2 Mahna, V. (2014). in the study Consumer Perception Regarding Eco-Friendly Fast Moving Consumer Goods in India where media enabled the awareness of such and made them trustworthy. Consumer behaviour and impact of marketing communication persuade the consumer opt for green. This has been studied by Maheshwari, Dr. Shruti P, Awareness of Green Marketing And Its Influence on Buying Behaviour of Consumers: Special Reference To Madhya Pradesh, India (2014). This paper empathises consumer beliefs and attitude on protection and their purchasing behavior of eco-friendly it also focuses on the success of efforts put by marketers in bringing green brands awareness in consumer s mind. From the consumers point of view awareness place a major role for which the retailer and manufacturer should develop their self-interest to promote the usage of ecofriendly. The same has been indicated by Maheswari, R. and Sakthivel, G. in their research paper Customer s attitude and awareness towards green with reference to Coimbatore An analytical study (2015) Lack of investment in eco-friendly also hinders their influence and sale. The findings of the study conducted by Nagamani, M. and Navaneetha, B Perception of Sellers of Eco-Friendly Products An Analytical Study (2017) revealed that that the retailers have opined that majority of the consumers specifically identify eco-friendly and show their interest to pay more for eco-friendly. They also stated that there is lack of awareness among the consumers about eco-friendly available in market and high investment required for business is the most common problem they face. Green consumers are considered to be young, educated and of service class category. A Study on Consumers Perception towards Eco-friendly Products in Ahmedabad by Pillai, Preeti and Junare, S. O. (2016) reviled that the awareness about degradation and availability of eco-friendly to such class had a influence on their purchase of the same. Every human has the responsibility to protect nature and by the usage of eco-friendly and practising green marketing. But the awareness level on the usage of green among the people is very limited. This has been identified by Asha and Rathiha in their study Consumer Awareness towards Green Products (2017).

5 I recommend eco-friendly to my friends/family From the above table it can be seen that there is no association between employment status and the attitude of the respondent.

There is no association between the age and perception of the respondents. There is an association between the employment status and the perception with respect to the price of the. There is an association between age and the attitude of the respondent with respect to opinion of the friends and family. There is no association between employment status and the attitude of the respondent. CONCLUSION Eco-friendly help develop a societal responsibility among consumers and motivate them to purchase such commodities. This perception of the consumers makes them conscious of what harm other conventional could do. But the price variations incorporated by the marketers may force the consumers to choose conventional over the eco-friendly as the former is affordable. Hence, consumers become more dependent on the price fluctuations, promotional strategies, availability and word of mouth for their purchase. Ultimately, even though the consumers are interested in buying eco-friendly and showcase their responsibility, such factors as mentioned above may hinder their purchase decisions.
