Question

TodaySprint · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Option A: Jharkhand. Jharkhand received Geographical Indication (GI) tags for four traditional products in June 2026. The newly GI-tagged products are Bhagaiya Silk, Kuchai Silk, Munda Jewellery, and Jharkhand Bamboo Craft. GI registration in India is granted under the Geographical Indications of Goods (Registration and Protection) Act, 1999 and remains valid for 10 years. Bhagaiya Silk is a premium wild Tasar silk associated with the Godda district, while Kuchai Silk originates from Seraikela-Kharsawan. Munda Jewellery is traditionally handcrafted by the Munda tribal community, whereas Jharkhand Bamboo Craft uses bamboo from the Chhota Nagpur Plateau. The GI Registry functions under the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT). NABARD documented the unique features of these products and supported their value-chain development and market promotion. Bharat Tex 2026, held at Bharat Mandapam, showcased six GI-tagged handloom products from Jharkhand.
