Role of Geographical Indication in rural development:
Geographic indicators are primarily traditional items made by rural communities over centuries that have gained market importance due to their precise characteristics.
The recognition and preservation of these goods' marketplaces allow the producer community to dedicate and keep the specific attributes of the product on which its popularity is based. This may also allow them to work together to improve the product's reputation.
GI tags were given to a variety of products from various states, including Himachali Kala Zeera, Chhattisgarh's Jeeraphool, Odisha's Kandhamal Haldi, and others.
