Highlights:

  1. The State government has now reportedly started the process for acquiring the GI tag and one expects that the exercise would be done in due seriousness and accomplished within a reasonable time-frame.

Significance of GI Tag:

  • The GI registration would help protect the unique aspects of the traditional gamosa.
  •  It will safeguard its authencity  at a time when cheap imitations from outside are flooding our markets.
  •  It would also help build a strong brand for the gamosa and popularise it outside the State.
  • .Handloom and handicrafts can be a major component of such an exercise like boosting ACT EAST POLICY.
