Consumer Affairs Minister Ram Vilas Paswan today called upon the industry to allocate a part of their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds for consumer awareness activities and also in Consumer Welfare Funds.

Addressing a meeting of industry associations Paswan said that industry should come forward in this as Centre has limited resources to spread awareness among consumers.

Consumer Awareness is part of CSR activities as mandated by the Law, but many companies don't do it effectively.

Paswan also called upon India Inc to collaborate with the government in grievance redressal.
