PREFACE

Documentation has always remained a weak spot in the

functioning of the Council. This is an effort to address that issue. When we
started the movement in the name of Consumer Council, Tiruchi in 1974
and canvassed for Life Membership, often this question was put to me:
whether the Life membership was for the life of the Council or for the life of
the members making it plain that they did not expect our initiative to last long.
We do not really blame them for the idea was so new and Tamilnadu has not
heard of it. (Late R.R.Dhalavai was running an organisation earlier but it was
limited to coop.societies’ ration shops.)
By the faith reposed by the public and members and, by the Central
and State Governments on us and by God’s grace, we have crossed 46 active
years and counting. As the membership profile keeps changing, younger
members who may not know our history and for the benefit of prospective
members and for the record, this simple booklet is being published. We hope
that this will serve its purpose.
We acknowledge with gratitude the contribution of nearly 200
Executive Members who have served the Council over the years. Owing to
space constraints, we have published the names of the Executive Committee
members currently serving.
Hope the reader will find it useful and we do expect many
youngsters to get inspired by what we have done and come forward to carry
the movement in the years to come. Students desirous of doing Ph.D, M.Phil
or M.A. Projects or to write collegiate or school essays on our Council based
on this booklet are welcome to do so provided they acknowledge the source.
Please remember what is published is only “ Some Highlights” and this does
not purport to be a comprehensive or exhaustive history of our activities.
We are very grateful to all the consumers who were members at
one time or the other without whose subscription, and participation in our
activities, the Council could not have survived so well, and to the press and
Television channels for taking our message to the public. Look forward to our
Product Testing Lab. soon.
