Jharkhand’s Bhagaiya silk, Munda jewellery, bamboo craft get GI tag
On June 14, Jharkhand’s Bhagaiya silk, Kuchai silk, Munda jewellery, and bamboo craft products have received the Geographical Indication (GI) tag. National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD), in the statement, said it was a significant milestone for the artisans and weavers of Jharkhand. The GI recognition is the culmination of years of focused efforts undertaken by the bank in collaboration with producer groups, artisans, self- help groups, farmer producer organisations, government departments, technical institutions and other stakeholders, the statement said. The recognition brings national attention to Jharkhand’s rich sericulture traditions. The GI tag not only provides recognition and commercial value to craft products but also encourages younger generations to continue producing these traditional crafts, thereby ensuring their preservation.
