West Bengal has received Geographical Indication (GI) tags for seven culturally significant products, including the beloved Nolen Gur Sandesh, a winter-special sweet made from chhena and date palm jaggery. Joining the list are three more sweets—Murshidabad’s Chhanabora, Bishnupur’s Motichur Laddu, and Kamarpukur’s Sada Bode—alongside Malda’s Nistari Silk Yarn, Radhunipagal Aromatic Rice, and Baruipur Guava. These GI tags aim to protect the identity of traditional products and boost rural economies through recognition and marketability. With this, West Bengal’s total GI-tagged items rise to 35, reinforcing its rich culinary and artisanal heritage. (PC: The Telegraph)
