Consumer Guidance Society of India (CGSI) is a consumer organization in India established in 1966. ==History== Since independence, India has been striving to develop and strengthen its industrial base. However, in this pursuit of “self-sufficiency,” the consumer has endure use of sub-standard products and services, adulterated foods, short weights and measures, spurious and hazardous drugs, exorbitant prices, endemic shortages leading to black marketing and profiteering, unfulfilled manufacture guarantees, and a host of other problems. In the 1960s exploitation of consumers by manufacturers and service providers was rampant in India. A few monopolistic business houses controlled industry. In one infamous case, forty persons suffered dropsy and glaucoma after consuming groundnut oil adulterated with toxic argemone oil. The victims did not get any justice and the culprits escaped without punishment. This outrage energized nine women to organize a movement to fight for consumer rights. In order to resist the silent suffering of consumers, an organized movement to protect consumer rights was the need of the hour. They formed the Consumer Guidance Society of India (CGSI) to resist consumer exploitation of all forms in 1966.
