We buy a good for a price. We buy the good for certain fulfilment of our want. We learn from seller/manufacturer through many means that the product we buy has all that statisfy our need.
But many of us just buy a good. But the need of whith the good is bought is not fulfilled at all.
We buy a soft drink. We consume it and still we fill thirsty.
To protect common man from mal practices followed by manufacturers we require Consumer awarenes programmes conducted regularly

Consumer awareness means making consumers aware of their rights when it comes to purchasing goods. Like : When you go to a petrol pump then you have the rights to ask for the "purity test" of the petrol. But as you know this is India, you must have heard about the murder of an IIM(Luchknow) candidate Mr.Manjunath. Its really sad that still we cannot practice all our rights because of threats.
