G.I. tags, or Geographical Indication tags, are a form of intellectual property rights that protect products originating from a specific geographical area. These tags help to preserve the uniqueness and authenticity of products, while also promoting the local economy and cultural heritage.

There are several types of G.I. tags that can be assigned to different products:

1. Product G.I. Tags:

Product G.I. tags are assigned to specific goods that have unique characteristics due to their geographical origin. These tags ensure that only products produced in that specific region can bear the G.I. tag. Examples of products with G.I. tags include Darjeeling tea, Kanchipuram silk sarees, and Alphonso mangoes.

2. Agricultural G.I. Tags:

Agricultural G.I. tags are assigned to agricultural products that have specific qualities or characteristics due to the geographical area in which they are grown. These tags help consumers identify and differentiate between products based on their origin. Some examples of agricultural products with G.I. tags are Basmati rice, Nagpur oranges, and Assam tea.

3. Handicraft G.I. Tags:

Handicraft G.I. tags are assigned to traditional handicraft products that are unique to a particular region. These tags protect the traditional knowledge and craftsmanship associated with these products. Examples of handicrafts with G.I. tags include Pashmina shawls, Chanderi fabric, and Madhubani paintings.

4. Food G.I. Tags:

Food G.I. tags are assigned to specific food products that have unique qualities or characteristics due to their geographical origin. These tags ensure that only products produced in a particular region can be labeled with the G.I. tag. Examples of food products with G.I. tags include Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, Champagne, and Roquefort cheese.

G.I. tags play a vital role in protecting and promoting traditional products, supporting local economies, and preserving cultural heritage. They provide consumers with assurance about the authenticity and quality of the products they purchase. By recognizing and valuing geographical indications, we can celebrate the diversity and richness of products from different regions.
