Geographical Indication(GI) registration

Though this news is still fresh and new that our carpet industry which consists of handmade rugs and carpets consisting may items has been granted Geographical Indication (GI)

It should be made note that  Bhadohi-Mirzapur is the biggest carpet manufacturing hub in India. The GI tag means a lot to us. this covers carpets manufactured in nine districts of the region, Bhadohi, Mirzapur, Varanasi, Ghazipur, Sonebhadra, Kaushambi, Allahabad, Jaunpur and Chandauli. These will be tagged with ‘handmade carpet of Bhadohi’.

We have been talking GI, but what is Geographical Indication ?

These are defined as that aspect of industrial property which refer 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. This 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. Now the GI been granted to carpet industry is some thing which other countries cannot copy, and we prevail and continue our original existance.

We are proud to be part and parcel of this handmade carpet industry.
