It examines India's Gl framework, its legal challenges, cross-border trade issues, and the need to protect indigenous heritage embedded in products like Pashmina, Paithani silk, Ratlami Sev, Dashabatar Tash, and Pattachitra art. The present compilation features scholarly essays on policy evolution, blockchain innovations in supply chains, and rural empowerment through Gis, stressing the importance of safeguarding community traditions while promoting economic growth. By addressing global market dynamics, it proposes strategies to preserve authenticity and ensure sustainable development rooted in geography. Essential for policymakers, researchers, and cultural stewards, this collection bridges law, legacy, and livelihood.
