A new book “Guardians

philatelic items related to Geographical Indications.
GIs have been defined under Article 22 (1) of

as: "indications which identify a good as originating in the territory of
a member, or a region or locality in that territory, where a given quality,
reputation or other characteristic of the good is essentially attributable to
its geographic origin.
India, with its vast cultural and ecological diversity, has given GI recognition to a variety of products ranging from the agricultural products, food products Handicrafts which promote the tapestry of culture and craftsmen, Manufactured products which show case the indigenous capability, to the natural products of India like the Makrana Marble. India Post has issued stamps, special covers, cancellations and other postal memorabilia to promote these GI Tagged Products of India.
