Citizen Consumer Club

Citizen Consumer Club(CCC) was established in our College during the year 2008. The objective of CCC is to educate the students about the rights of Consumers as stated in Consumer Protection Act, 1986. The club disseminates information gained through consumer clubs among their fellow students as well as among the people living in their respective locality.

Consumer Rights as stipulated under Consumer Protection Act 1986 are

  1. Right to Safety
  2. Right to be informed
  3. Right to Choose
  4. Right to be heard
  5. Right to seek Redressal
  6. Right to Consumer Education
  7. Right to Basic needs
  8. Right to a healthy environment
The motto of Citizen Consumer Club is AWARE, ALERT AND ACT

Our College CCC is conducting various programmes relating to consumer rights, awareness and responsibilities for the benefit of the students. Our consumer club also conducts various competitions for students such as essay writing, poetry and drawing competition.
