A geographical indication (GI) is a name or sign used on certain products which corresponds to a specific geographical location or origin (e.g., a town, region, or country). The GI tag ensures that only registered authorized users or residents of the specified geographic region have the right to use the popular product name. Jamdani was the first GI recognized by Government of Bangladesh in 2016. [1]
