| Awareness
Creation on GI |
|
Geographical Indication (GI) is
the only Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs), which
stipulates community ownership. As such creating
awareness among the stakeholders on the issue is
equally important. Hence, the Textiles
Committee has initiated a nationwide awareness
campaign for creating awareness among the
stakeholders through organising workshops/seminars.
The main objectives of the nationwide campaign
is to prepare the stakeholders particularly the
manufacturing associations, exporter and trade
associations, civil society organisations,
institutions & centres of excellence and grass
root level stakeholders associated with the
production, marketing and overall development of the
products on the emerging issues relating to
Geographical indication, so that they can prepare
themselves for protecting their products under the
act. The Textiles Committee have organised 35
workshops in the country during 2005 to 2008 and
sensitised more than15000 stakeholders including the
representatives of state government, civil society
organisations, manufacturing & trading
associations etc. The workshop helped in creating
awareness among the stakeholders on the need for
registering the products under the Geographical
Indication (GI) Act, 1999 and the benefits of it.
