“What better day than the birth of the birth of Bodofa receive GI brands for 13 articles that embody the rich cultural heritage of our Bodo community. This recognition will significantly strengthen the promotion of items and shift the legacy of these cultural objects,” Sarma added.
The GI brand is a name or sign that confirms that the product has specific features that differ from others. If you want to get the GI brand on any product, the association or organization that produces products may be subject to. Since September 15, 2003, GI Tag in India came into force, and Darjeeling tea became the first Indian product to win the GI brand. (Or)
