  1. Hi all,

    You have nice informations about World consumer rights day celebrations. Every year 15th March is observed as the World consumer rights day all over the world. Since 1997, the state of Nagaland had been observing it in all the district headquarters besides the state function being organized by the department of legal metrology, consumer protection and NVCO along with the district VCO. Thanks!
