Under the mandate given by section 49 of the Competition Act, 2002, Competition Commission of India (CCI) takes measures to engage in competition advocacy, creating awareness and imparting training on competition issues. This is done, inter-alia, by participation of Chairperson, Members and officials of the Commission in various conferences, seminars and workshops organized by various stakeholders. CCI, however, has not participated in any commercial event.
