  • Geographical Indication Tag
    www.gradeup.co Geographical Indication Tag What is Geographical Indication Tag? A geographical indication (GI) is a sign used on products having a particular geographical origin and having qualities or a reputation due to that origin. You might have heard about copyright, patent, trademark, etc. which are rights of intellectual property. Geographical Indication Tag provides holders with similar rights and protection. Darjeeling tea was the first product to be given a GI tag in India. The Geographical Indications of Goods Act was enacted by India in 1999. Why GI tag? India enacted the Geographical Indications of Goods (Registration & Protection) Act 1999 as a member of the World Trade Organization (WTO), that entered into force with effect from 15 September 2003. It supports local production and helps in mainstreaming and upliftment of the rural and the tribal communities. These GI tags must not be confused with IPR. GI is a collective right, unlike IPRs which grants protection to individual interest. India has registered 236 GI products so far and more than 270 more have applied for the label GI recently got a logo and a tagline given by the Commerce and Industry Minister to increase the awareness about the IPRs in the country. LOGO 1 www.gradeup.co Here we give you an infographic of the most recent addition in the GI list over the past couple of years (2017-2019 Feb) Recently Awarded GI Tag Commodity/handicraft/food Name Place item Konkan (Western Indian states of Maharashtra, Alphonso Food Goa, and the South Indian state of Karnataka)

    March , 2015 Vol. No. 176 Ahimsa Times in World Over + 100000 The Only Jain E-Magazine Community Service for 14 Continuous Years Readership AHIMSA AND VEGETARIANISM MAHARASHTRA GOVERNMENT BANS COW SLAUGHTER: FIVE YEARS JAIL Mar. 3rd, 2015. Mumbai. The bill banning cow slaughter in Maharashtra, pending for several years, finally received the President's assent, which means red meat lovers in the state will have to do without beef. This measure has taken almost twenty years to materialize and was initiated during the previous Sena-BJP Government. The bill was first submitted to the President for approval on January 30, 1996.. However, subsequent Governments at the Centre, including the BJP led NDA stalled it and did not seek the President’s consent. A delegation of seven state BJP MPs led by Kirit Somaiya, (MP from Mumbai North) had met the President in New Delhi recently and submitted a memorandum seeking assent to the bill. The memorandum said that the Maharashtra Animal Preservation (Amendment) Bill, 1995, passed during the previous Shiv Sena-BJP regime, was pending for approval for 19 years. The law will ban beef from the slaughter of bulls and bullocks, which was previously allowed based on a fit- for-slaughter certificate. The new Act will, however, allow the slaughter of water buffaloes. The punishment for the sale of beef or possession of it could be prison for five years with an additional fine of Rs 10,000. It is notable that, Reuters new service had earlier reported that Hindu nationalists in India had stepped up attacks on the country's beef industry, seizing trucks with cattle bound for abattoirs and blockading meat processing plants in a bid to halt the trade in the world's second-biggest exporter of beef.
