Assam has been granted Geographical Indication (GI) tags for eight traditional products, including distinctive rice beer variants deeply rooted in Bodo culture. The GI tags recognize the cultural heritage and traditional knowledge of the Bodo community. Products like Bodo Jou Gwran, with its high alcohol content and traditional brewing methods, have gained national and international recognition. This milestone preserves Assam's cultural identity and promotes its unique products, contributing to the state's economic growth and cultural preservation. The GI tags also safeguard the intellectual property rights of local artisans and brewers.
