Solution

The correct option is A Planning Commission
Traders or producers cheat consumers in many ways. To stop this, a few social organisations started some movements. The first consumer movement began in the US. In India, the Planning Commission backed the idea of establishing the Indian Association of Consumers in 1956 in Delhi as a national base for consumer interests. However, it was not effective due various reasons. The real movement on consumer rights in India began in 1965.
