India's role as a global economic powerhouse and status ofan investment destination are increasingly linked to its abilityto ensure IPRs are protected with strong IPR rules andenforcement of laws and regulations, the minister said.

Paswan, who is in-charge of the Food and ConsumerAffairs Ministry, also noted that on the one hand the value of'Indian made' intellectual rights is on the rise while on theother rising counterfeit and fake products are posing as a keythreat to the country's economic growth.

Acknowledging that counterfeit products have a directimpact on consumers, Paswan said the priority of the govern-ment is to protect consumers and several measures have beentaken to ensure consumer safety and check unfair trade prac-tices.

The minister, however, struck a note of caution, sayingconsumers have to be aware not just of commercial aspects ofsale and purchase of goods, but of health and security consid-erations.

He also suggested that the companies should set aside partof their corporate social responsibility funds for awarenessamong consumers on such issues. (PTI)
