Panchkula Mayor Mrs Upinder Kaur graced this occasion by her presence. Information on ‘Consumers rights and problems they face’ was given in the seminar. Many speakers shared their opinions on consumer problems and their solutions.

It is felt that awareness pertaining to the stock market is lacking among investors. A lot of people cannot invest or hesitate to do so and many tend to make wrong decisions due to lack of information. Advising people not invest in a business they do not understand, investors were asked to look for companies with a sound management.

Mr. Surinder Verma, Chairman, Citizens Awareness Group Chandigarh, said “Consumers face many problems now a days. We are here to solve their problems. We get many cases where consumers say that they were fooled by companies. We solve their cases as a mediator and try to avoid going to consumer courts as much as possible.”

While emphasizing on Financial Education, He said, “You would not buy a colour TV before visiting a few dealers and taking advice from some friends. But a rumour might prompt you to buy stocks worth Rs. 2 lacs. So most of the losses occurred in the stock market are a result of hasty decisions, greed and fear.” He also exemplified how even educated and high income group investors fail to follow the safeguards while investing in the stock market.”
