GI Tags for Jharkhand Products
  • Four traditional Jharkhand products—Bhagaiya Silk, Kuchai Silk, Munda Jewellery, and Jharkhand Bamboo Craft—have received the prestigious Geographical Indication (GI) tag. This recognition protects their unique qualities, traditional craftsmanship, and cultural heritage while boosting branding, exports, and rural livelihoods. NABARD played a key role through artisan support, documentation, and cluster development.
  • Bhagaiya and Kuchai silks highlight sericulture heritage; Munda Jewellery celebrates tribal motifs and symbolism; and Bamboo Craft promotes sustainable rural income. The GI tag safeguards authenticity and enhances market value for these indigenous products.
