  Although the spectra of heavy quarkonium systems has been successfully
explained by certain QCD motivated potential models, their strong decays are
difficult to deal with. We perform a microscopic calculation of charmonium
strong decays using the same constituent quark model which successfully
describes the $c\bar{c}$ meson spectrum. We compare the numerical results with
the $^{3}P_{0}$ and the experimental data. Comparison with other predictions
from similar models are included.
