The growing interdependence of the world economy and international character of many business practices have contributed to the development of universal emphasis on consumer rights, protection and promotion. In a developing country like India, the consumers right to safety gives added importance to protect from the poor quality or even hazardous to health. The right to safety is important for safe and secure living (Stanly Chazhoor). Consumer protection laws are designed to ensure a fair competition and free flow of truthful information in the market place. Indian consumers are cheated through defective weights and measures to the tune of Rs crores a year. Though government has passed several Acts and laws to protect consumers and seek redresses of their grievances they are not in a position to utilize their knowledge or are simply ignorant of these (John 1974, Gupta and Ogale, 1988). Consumer rights observe the frustrations and disappointments of Indian consumers. Indian Consumer are ignorant, illiterate and do not know the role of consumption Vis-a Vis economic system as well as quality of life. When they are ignorant of their rights, they cannot know their responsibilities as consumers. Consumers in the market find themselves deceived by wrong weights and measures, adulterated and substandard products causing great damages to health (Anand and Neelkanta). Building the capacity of consumers to work both collectively and individually, as responsible consumers can lead to fair and just commercial practices in the market place.

2 will help them to attain a better quality of life for the society. In fact, the role as consumers can ensure value for money, value to people, value for the environment as well as a value to democracy and justice. (Bishan Singh, 2001).Growing internationalization during the past three decades has become one of the most pervasive influences in business today. Consumers of today s world required adequate knowledge and border range of skills than before, but they are not well organized and have suffered lack of protection. In India, consumers face problems of unfair business practices like misbranding, spurious products, unsafe products, planned obsolescence, adulteration, fictitious pricing, price collusion, deceptive packaging, false and misleading advertisements, defective warranties, hoarding, profiteering, black marketing, short weights and measures, etc. (Cochran and Bell, 1956, Single et al., 1980, and Sundaram, 1985) The root cause is low standard of living, ignorance of legitimate rights of consumer, insufficient knowledge of market conditions, lack of consumer education and many more. Government and Consumer Organisation give more importance to Consumer Protection Acts like rights and its regulatory measures than the basic needs of consumer education. Unfortunately, they are only in document level. Chandra, J.P. points out that it is the duty of the government to ensure legal support to consumer and to abolish unfair trade practices. MATERIALS AND METHODS SOURCES OF DATA COLLECTION were collected from the consumers by questionnaire and interview method. The consumers were randomly requested to fill the questionnaire. The questionnaire is divided into three parts. The first part is demographic characters. The second one is the awareness and attitudes of consumer awareness in Consumer Protection Act 1986 and Consumer Rights. The last part is the practical execution of Consumer Rights among the consumers in Tuticorin and Kanyakumari districts. Secondary data were collected from different literatures of books, published articles and websites. Keeping the objectives of the study, the researcher constructed the questionnaire to elicit required information from the consumers. The significances of the variables were tested with appropriate statistical tools. PILOT STUDY The questionnaire was pre-tested by collecting data from 95 consumers, both in urban and rural areas in November and December This helps to confirm practical applicability, clarity and to avoid unnecessary questions. The questionnaire was received and restructured on the basic of the results of the pilot study. Some new questions were added after evaluating the questionnaires in the pilot study. DATA ANALYSIS The total questionnaire issued and collected from the consumers were Equal importance was given to urban and rural consumers in Kanyakumari and Tuticorin districts. Scores for each test category (Consumer Protection Act 1986 and Rights) were calculated by assigning correct responses. Mean responses and percentages of responses in each category were computed. Cross tabulations, Chi-square tests, T test, and F test (95% confidence level) were used to compare indicators across demographic characteristics. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION AWARENESS OF CONSUMER RIGHTS When the Consumer Protection Act 1986 is implemented properly, the consumers get more protection. In this study, data were collected to test the awareness of basic rights of the Volume:01, Number:01, Nov-2011 : RJCBS Page 76

3 consumers including a Right to safety, Right to inform, Right to Choice, Right to be heard, Right to redress, Right to basic need and Right to consumer education.

The rejection of the null hypothesis shows that Tuticorin and Kanyakumari district consumer has significant awareness in Consumer Rights. Among the different variables relating to the awareness of Consumer Rights with their respective district, it was found that Kanyakumari district consumers have high awareness of right to the healthy environment (mean value 2.32). The mean value (2.31) of Right to basic needs shows that the Kanyakumari district consumers were aware more than that of Tuticorin consumers. There is a significant relationship in Kanyakumari and Tuticorin districts consumers in the awareness of Consumer Rights. COMPLAINTS AGAINST UNFAIR TRADE PRACTICES The consumers should know the basic procedure in filing of complaints in consumer court to prevent them from the unfair trade practices. plays a vital role in the awareness of basic proceeding to file complaints against unfair trade practices. This study reveals that the educated consumers have more awareness in the proceedings to file complaints than that of uneducated consumers. Chi-square test is used to identify the significance variation in between the different levels of education in the awareness of basic proceeding to file complaints against unfair trade practices. The respondents in different levels of education were requested to indicate their awareness of complaint handling procedures and its execution during purchase of goods and services (Table 2).

The unawareness of complaint handling procedure is high in the group of illiterate (37.8%) followed by school level consumers (36%) and graduate consumers (22.7%). This shows that when the level of education decreases, the awareness level of complaint handling procedures increases except professionals (2%).

The mean value is equal to all consumers CONCLUSION Consumers are saddled with the problems of choosing between too many products with too less information. With the concentration of market in the hands of a few large corporations, it becomes important that the consumers are aware of their rights in order to ensure proper standards for the goods and services from which they make payment. Unless the consumers are aware of the constitutional provisions by government to protect the rights or the consumers the effort of the government and voluntary organisations cannot achieve the desired result (Pharameshvar 1988). The awareness and attitude of Consumer Protection Act 1986 and Consumer Rights are high in Kanyakumari district. The literacy rate is high in this district. Hence, the awareness and attitudes are based on the education of the consumers. When the level of education increases, the level of awareness also increases. Majority of respondents did not know the Consumer Protection Act 1986 and Rights. When compared to rural consumers, the urban consumers have more knowledge and awareness in consumer protection activities. There was no significant difference among the male and female consumers in the awareness of substandard products and services. The male and female consumers have equal awareness in unfair trade practices. Different media provide different information relating to Consumer Protection. In which, Newspaper and magazine plays important role in creating awareness of Consumer Protection Act 1986, Consumer Rights and products and services. There is no significant difference in understanding of Consumer Protection Act 1986 and its features. Great majority of the consumers had unaware about Consumer Acts and Rights.
