Established in 1996, CUTS Centre for Consumer Action, Research & Training (CUTS CART) is a research and advocacy Centre. This Programme Centre was created as a result of diversification of CUTS in order to move ahead with its inherited agenda: consumer protection and education, and to create a more responsible society. Continuous pioneering work in the area of consumer protection found CUTS CART at the forefront of the consumer movement in India and beyond. So far, the Centre has trained over 1200 activists and created 300 independent groups in Rajasthan and elsewhere. Moreover, CUTS CART is credited to have about 1000 organisations in its network.

With the multiplication in the dimensions of a consumer, the Centre found the mandate of stepping in to several other programmatic areas. Currently, CUTS CART is working consistently on seven programmatic areas through consumer perspective. The outline of these programmatic areas is mentioned below:

  • Consumer Education & Protection

  • Investor Education & Protection 

  • Good Governance (with focus on accountability and access to information);

  • Utility Reforms

  • Sustainable Mobility (which includes road safety)

  • Women & Child Rights

  • Sustainable Development (which includes MDGs, environment, livelihoods etc)

The Centre has formulated its own mission statement and strategies and has got more than 10 affiliations from all over the world due to its continuous interventions in the country and other parts of the world.
