Geographical Indication (GI) Tags in India: Memorize Faster

Last updated on January 25, 2021 by Ujwala Pullela

Geographical Indications India (GI Tags)List of Geographical Indication (GI) Tags in India – arranged state-wise.

Have you heard of Aranmula Kannadi which is a unique handicraft from Kerala OR Kanchipuram Sarees of Tamil Nadu OR  Madhubani Paintings of Bihar? All these are unique products from a particular location.

Such products now bear an additional tag – Geographical Indication.

What is a Geographical Indication?

A geographical indication (GI) is a sign used on products that have a specific geographical origin and possess qualities or a reputation that are due to that origin.

In order to function as a GI, a sign must identify a product as originating in a given place.

For example, Blue pottery of Jaipur.

130+ Prelims Marks is Possible. Only if you are guided the right way.

Significance of GI tag

You might have heard of intellectual properties rights like Copyright, Patent, Trademark etc. Geographical Indication Tag provides similar rights and protection to holders.

A geographical indication right enables those who have the right to use the indication to prevent its use by a third party whose product does not conform to the applicable standards.

For example, in the jurisdictions in which the Darjeeling geographical indication is protected, producers of Darjeeling tea can exclude the use of the term “Darjeeling” for tea not grown in their tea gardens or not produced according to the standards set out in the code of practice for the geographical indication.

Significance of Geographical Indications for Competitive Exams

Geographical Indication is one of the hot question topics for almost all competitive exams including UPSC Civil Services Prelims.

Knowledge of students on Indian culture and diversity is tested by different question formats connected to GI tags – including ‘Match the following’ questions. As we have prepared this compilation state-wise, we hope it would be very easy for students to connect different GI to corresponding states.

GI tags – a requirement of the TRIPS agreement

  • India, as a member of the World Trade Organization (WTO), enacted the Geographical Indications of Goods (Registration & Protection)Act, 1999 has come into force with effect from 15th September 2003.
  • Darjeeling Tea was the first Indian product to get the geographical indication tag. In 2004, the famous beverage got recognition.

Video Series on GI Tags in India by ClearIAS

Click here to watch video series on GI Tags in India – arranged state-wise with photographs.

Summary: GI Tags

  • Geographical Indications of Goods are defined as that aspect of industrial property which refers to the geographical indication referring to a country or to a place situated therein as being the country or place of origin of that product.
  • Typically, such a name conveys an assurance of quality and distinctiveness which is essentially attributable to the fact of its origin in that defined geographical locality, region or country.
  • Under Articles 1 (2) and 10 of the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property, geographical indications are covered as an element of IPRs.
  • They are also covered under Articles 22 to 24 of the Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) Agreement, which was part of the Agreements concluding the Uruguay Round of GATT negotiations.
  • Proponents of GIs regard them as strong tools for protecting their national property rights. Opponents, however, consider GIs as barriers to trade.

    Very good compilation – State wise.
    However, it requires updation.
    The GI Registry website shows 272 GIs, as of June 13, 2016.
