     SRINAGAR: The world famous Basohli Paintings from Kathua district of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir and the Ladakh Wood Carving of Union Territory of Ladakh have received the Geographical Indication (GI) Tag, media reports said.

    A geographical indication (GI) is a sign used on product that has special geographical origin. In order to function as a GI, a sign must identify a product as originating in a given place. It provides a legal protection to the products and prevents their unauthorised use.

    The process for GI Tagging of these products was started by NABARD in consultation with and support from the Department of Handicrafts and Handloom in December 2020.

    The GI tags have now finally been granted to these products after a long legal process.

    Out of the 33 GI tags that India got this year, these two products from UT of Jammu and Kashmir and UT of Ladakh made it to the list.

    The Daily Excelsior reported that earlier GI tags were given to Kashmir handicrafts but they did not include Jammu and Ladakh. The Basohli painting of Kathua district is the first independent GI tag from the Jammu region whereas the Ladakh Wood Carving is the first handicraft of Ladakh to get a GI Tag.
