Programme Associate

**Recruitment - Programme Associate
**Employee Record/ Joining Report**
Consumer Unity & Trust Society (CUTS) is a leading think-tank working on economic and
public policy issues. From its modest beginnings in 1983, CUTS has grown significantly as a
local and global research and advocacy group in addressing the challenges to enhance consumer
welfare. From a small voluntary consumer non-governmental organisation (NGO) working
locally in Rajasthan, a state in North West India, to make consumers aware of their rights and
seek resolution of their grievances, CUTS has over time progressed to policy research and
network-based advocacy on various public policy issues at state, national, regional and
international levels.

Its work spans a multi-pronged agenda targeted to the realisation of CUTS’ Vision of ‘Consumer
sovereignty’ and its Mission of ‘consumer sovereignty in the framework of social justice,
economic equality and environmental balance, within and across borders.’

CUTS work now revolves around three verticals: Rules-based Trade, Effective Regulation and
Good Governance. This graduation happened organically because of the demands made on
CUTS to work on policy issues, which would enhance consumer welfare, with the realisation
that consumers need to be protected upfront and not only ex post.
