Elevating India's Handicraft Heritage through Geographical Indications • A Geographical Indication (GI) is a label or sign used on products that have a specific geographical origin and possess unique qualities, characteristics, or a reputation inherently linked to that origin. The concept of GI extends beyond a mere trademark or brand name: it serves as a certification indicating that a product possesses certain qualities or enjoys a certain reputation due to its geographical origin. This origin can be a town, a region, or a country. The essence of a GI tag lies in the connection between the specific geographical region and the product itself, where the qualities, characteristics, or reputation of the product are essentially attributable to its place of origin.
