GI Tag For Gamosa Will Secure Interests Of Artisans, Strengthen Assam's Economy: CM Himanta

Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma was presented with the certificate of Geographical Indication Registration for Asomiya Gamosa. The GI Registration is for eight Gamosa.

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Thursday received the Geographical Indication Registration Certificate for Asomiya Gamosa. CM Sarma said it will secure the interests of Assam’s artisans and strengthen the state’s economy. He was presented with the certificate by the Controller General of Patent, Designs and Trademarks and Registrar of GI Registry, Dr. Unnat P. Pandit at a ceremony conducted at Sarusajai Stadium in Guwahati on Thursday.

According to news agency IANS, the GI Registration is for eight Gamosa, namely Uka or Xadharan Gamosa, Phulam Gamosa, Bihuwan, Tiani or Pani Gamosa, Anakata Gamosa, Telos Gamosa, Dora Boron or Jor Gamosa, and Gossain Gamosa.

After the GI Registration, others are not allowed to make or market the product. GI Registration is a legal acknowledgment of the goods for a certain geographic area or territory. With this, millions of weavers in the state will be protected.

Chief Minister Sarma said, "The Gamosa is the quintessential symbol of Assam's heritage and a pride of our State. Bohag Bihu got even more special for all 3.5 cr people of Assam, as on their behalf I formally received the Geographical Indication (GI) tag certificate for the Gamosa.

"For generations to come, this shall secure the interests of Assam’s artisans and strengthen the State’s economy. My sincere gratitude to Hon’ble Commerce Minister Shri 
@PiyushGoyal  ji and his team," he added thanking Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal.

This comes as Assam on Thursday etched its name in the Guinness World Records with 11,304 dancers and drummers performing 'Bihu' dance and playing 'dhol' in a single venue, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said.
