Seventeen Product Receives Geographical Indication Tags

Seventeen special products from the regions of Arunachal Pradesh, Odisha, West Bengal, and Jammu and Kashmir have recently been given Geographical Indication (GI) tags. GI tag is a label or symbol that shows where a product comes from and what makes it unique. This tag is given by the Geographical Indication Registry in Chennai. 

From Arunachal Pradesh, a wooden craft made by the skilful Wancho tribe received a GI tag. Also, Adi Kekir ginger and handmade carpets have earned their place on this respectable list. 

From West Bengal, three sarees – Tangali, Garad, and Korial – now have a GI tag. The state’s Kalonunia rice and the Sundarban honey have also been recognized by the registry. 

Meanwhile, Odisha’s food items, including Dhenkanal Magji Sweet and a special type of Brinjal, have secured their spot on the list. Also, a chutney named Simpilipal Kai chutney has received a tag. 

From Jammu and Kashmir, Ramban Anardan, a fruit tree has been given the tag. These tags protect the originality of this special regional product.
