The NABARD has sanctioned a study on the impact evaluation of Geographical Indication (GI) products to Symbiosis School of Economics. 

❖ This particular study will enable NABARD to analyse the benefits accrued to artisans/producers because of the GI tags over the years.

❖ As of today, 144 products supported by NABARD, are GI tagged.

❖ The first product that received a GI tag with support from NABARD, was Pochampally Ikat from Telangana.
