Q.1
WBPSC Miscellaneous Prelims 2009
Which of the following products have been awarded GI tag to promote the economic prosperity of the producers?
A. Darjeeling Tea
B. Madhubani Paintings
C. Thanjavur Paintings
D. All of the above
Explanation
Why Correct: Darjeeling Tea was the first Indian product to receive a Geographical Indication (GI) tag in 2004. Madhubani Paintings received GI registration in 2006, and Thanjavur Paintings received it in 2007. All three have been awarded GI tags to promote economic prosperity of their respective producers.
Distractor Analysis: Darjeeling Tea, Madhubani Paintings, and Thanjavur Paintings each individually hold valid GI tags; none of them is without a GI tag.
Takeaway: GI tags are governed by the Geographical Indications of Goods (Registration and Protection) Act, 1999, and are valid for 10 years, renewable. Remember that Darjeeling Tea and Alphonso mango are among India's earliest GI-tagged products.
