Citizen Consumer Club has been working with great enthusiasm and commitment for the past seven years. The CC Club has been collaborating with the Civil Supplies and Consumer Protection Department (Govt. of Tamil Nadu), FEDCOT, CAI, CAG, MMCRPC, and other such private organizations to create awareness on consumer rights and adulteration issues. Students actively participate in competitions. They have also won recognition and prizes in competitions conducted by the CC club of other colleges. Our Citizen Consumer Club has received six Best Citizen Consumer Club Awards since the academic year 2010 in North Chennai from the Civil Supplies and Consumer Protection Department, Govt. of Tamil Nadu in appreciation of the activities of our club.
The objective of the club is to educate and motivate the Consumer Club Members about the rights and responsibilities of consumers and to make the members inculcate the valuable inputs which they gained among the general public; to join hands with other voluntary consumer organizations and with other consumer clubs to enhance consumer movement; and to collaborate, cooperate, actively participate and function in accordance with the Department of Civil Supplies and Consumer Protection, Government of Tamil Nadu.
In order to achieve the above said objectives, the club organizes programmes like orientation, workshops, field visits, awareness meetings, fresher’s meet for first-year students, awareness programmes for society and competitions at both intra and inter-collegiate levels. Some articles have been published by the staff and student coordinators of the consumer club in the monthly magazine “Tamil Nadu NugarvorKavasam” by the Civil Supplies and Consumer Protection Department, Government of Tamil Nadu. Nearly 25 books related to consumer awareness are available in our college library and we are regularly receiving the monthly magazine “Tamil Nadu NugarvorKavasam” released by the concerned department.
