In a major recognition for Ladakh, its wood carving has been granted the Geographical Indication (GI) Tag.
In December last year, the government also granted GI Tag for Raktsey Karpo apricot of Ladakh.
The process for GI Tagging of these products was started by NABARD in consultation with and support of the Department of Handicrafts and Handloom in December 2020.
Earlier this year, the products were registered with the GI Registry Chennai.
Wood carving of Ladakh has been an aesthetically vibrant art form in the Ladakh region, including the capital Leh and Kargil.
GI Tag grants legal protection to the original producers and prevents their unauthorised use by third parties.
It also boosts exports, promotes the goods at the international level and brings economic prosperity to producers and stakeholders.
