Misleading advertisements, tricks gullible consumer in purchasing the products and services which are often health hazards or substandard in quality, for example – various pills/food supplements, fairness creams, etc. The Department of Consumer Affairs, Government of India having its office at New Delhi, would not be able to check the menace of misleading advertisement without the active participation and help from the State Governments, local self-Governments and the Police department of the States. These authorities are expected to intensify their action against the misleading advertisements as also the misleading advertisers on their own or once altered by the voluntary consumer organizations.

Suggestions are invited on how the State Govt., local self-government and Police can take effective measures against Misleading Advertisements.

The last date for submission of your comments is 23rd January 2015.

For doing B.Ed universities ask for working experience, to find work experience schools ask for B.Ed degree. B.Ed degree admission should not require teaching experience. This is leading to shortage of teachers in the country.

Platform is required to express views of Public , who are defrauded by misleading advertisements claiming to have magic effect or solution .Portal , helpline may be developed initially for awareness . Magic relief from pain ( may be misleading only to attract and earn exorbitant money , to increase sale of the oil for arthritis or pills ) Authenticity of Government should be there . Give so much money and get employment . Some administrative control should be there for rackets.

1- Advertisements like jaago grahak jaago in a trendy way just like election commision has transformed its voter awareness campaigns in last decade. 2- Put their names on the defaulters list on large boards near public places. There should not be more than 2-3 names on a single large board. 3- Increase their tax by 3-5% annually. 4- Debar them from entering into govt. contracts.

Firstly, children should not be uses in advertisement as the message in most cases do not go through to the intended audience & the children themselves are in 100% cases not aware of what is happening!
