ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS-II/III: governance, consumer protection and international bodies. Fair trade depends on trusted weights and measures; the Legal Metrology Act, 2009 and OIML-aligned standards underpin this. Hosting CIML lets India shape global norms, and the way forward is stronger enforcement, digital and e-commerce compliance, and capacity building at state level.
