Yesterday, Mumbai’s Consumer Guidance Society of India (CGSI) celebrated its golden jubilee year at its office in SoBo. The milestone was marked in a meaningful way — in pursuit of the national goal to clean power, a solar power project was inaugurated on the occasion at the office.

While the solar power project is one of the more responsible ways to mark a golden jubilee, what is important is that 50 years is a time to introspect, reflect, and pave the way forward for consumer rights. It is an important date, but one that must propel the movement forward.
