2. Question
Which organisation has sanctioned a study on the impact evaluation of Geographical Indication (GI) products?
Correct
(a) NABARD
The National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) has sanctioned a study on the impact evaluation of Geographical Indication (GI) products to Symbiosis School of Economics. This particular study will enable NABARD to analyse the benefits accrued to artisans/producers because of the GI tags over the years, said Monomoy Mukherjee, Chief General Manager of NABARD.
The first product that received a GI tag with support from NABARD, was Pochampally Ikat from the State of Telangana (erstwhile united Andhra Pradesh).
NABARD, not only supports GI registration of a product, but also focuses on post-registration activities, such as registration of authorised users, renewal of existing registration, marketing support, consumer awareness and training programmes, among others. A few years ago, NABARD with the help of an NGO, came out with a GI catalogue in French and Spanish. “This will help the products get an international audience,” Mr.Mukherjee said.
