TodaySprint · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Option A: Uttarakhand. Uttarakhand inaugurated its first Geographical Indications (GI) Products Gallery at the Uttarakhand Forest Training Academy, Haldwani, on 13 July 2026. The gallery displays more than 30 GI-tagged products, including agricultural produce, handicrafts and cultural items from Uttarakhand. A Geographical Indication (GI) identifies products whose quality, reputation or characteristics are linked to a specific geographical origin. GI registration in India is governed by the Geographical Indications of Goods (Registration and Protection) Act, 1999, and is administered by the Geographical Indications Registry. Prominent GI-tagged products displayed include Ramnagar litchi, Ramgarh peach, Munsiyari White Rajma, Aipan Art, Chamoli Wooden Ramman Masks and Uttarakhand Tamta Copperware. Uttarakhand has more than 30 GI-tagged products and secured 18 GI registrations in a single day in December 2023. The gallery aims to promote awareness, market access, traditional knowledge, rural livelihoods and support for farmers, artisans and craftspeople. Perishable GI products, such as litchi and peach, require special preservation for exhibition and display.
