National Institute of Consumer Education

In 1994 an Institute of Consumer Education was proposed to be set up in the State for providing necessary Consumer Education in the State and other States with the assistance of Govt. of India. Govt. land was located at Chinsurah, District Hooghly, for the purpose which had been acquired in favour of the Irrigation Department. On the request of State Govt, the Govt. of India has issued no objection for using the word “National” along with the name “National Institute of Consumer Education” under the Emblems and Names (PIU), Act 1950. Steps are being taken by the Irrigation and Waterways Department, Govt. of West Bengal to transfer the land in favour of Consumer Affairs Department.
