The Geographical Indication (GI) tag in India is the mark of authenticity and uniqueness for products that are native to specific regions. The products, whether food, handicrafts, or textiles, are made using traditional methods and raw materials specific to that region. The GI tag would help preserve the culture of those regions and save consumers from fake products. Here's a glimpse at some of the popular Indian products that have received the GI tag.

What is a GI Tag?

A Geographical Indication (GI) tag is a unique symbol given to products that are associated with a specific geographical location, region, or country. This tag is used to identify products that possess qualities, reputation, or characteristics inherent to the place of origin. It ensures that only those products made in the defined region using traditional methods or unique local resources are entitled to carry the GI mark.

• GI tags help preserve the cultural heritage of a place by promoting local craftsmanship and also preventing counterfeiting products.

• Value addition to the products further enhances the economy of a place by global recognition, making sure that all traditional goods like food, textiles, and handicrafts are authentic.
