List of GI Tags in India 2024 | List of GI Tags State-wise 2024
India, with its rich cultural diversity, is home to a plethora of traditional products that are deeply rooted in the heritage of different regions. To protect the unique identity and promote the economic well-being of local communities associated with these products, the concept of Geographical Indication (GI) tags has gained prominence in India. GI tags serve as a symbol of authenticity and quality, ensuring that consumers can identify and appreciate products with a distinct geographical origin.
Geographical Indication is a form of intellectual property right that indicates the origin of a product and possesses qualities, reputation, or characteristics that are essentially attributable to that place of origin. In the Indian context, the Geographical Indications of Goods (Registration and Protection) Act, 1999, governs the registration and protection of such indications. It aims to safeguard the interests of producers and communities associated with specific geographical areas.
