Discussion
Which of the following has been awarded protection under the Geographical Indications of Goods Act, 1999 ?
(1) Dharwad Petha
(2) Darjeeling Tea
(3) Kadaknath Chicken
(4) Gondwana Dhokra
Choose the correct option :
Answer: B
The protected items are (1), (2) and (3): Dharwad Pedha, Darjeeling Tea and Kadaknath Chicken.
Darjeeling Tea was the first product to receive a geographical indication in India, in 2004-05. Dharwad Pedha (printed 'Petha'), the milk sweet of Dharwad in Karnataka, received a GI in 2007, and Jhabua's Kadaknath black chicken meat from Madhya Pradesh received one in 2018.
Dhokra metal casting is registered under other names, Bastar Dhokra and the Dokra of West Bengal, not as 'Gondwana Dhokra', so the options including (4) are wrong.
