Aamir 48022 Obligations and opportunities for protection of geographical indication in Kashmir: A case study of “Kashmir Pashmina” and “Kashmir saffron” Kashmir Journal of Legal Studies 10(1), Jul, 2023: p.99-110 As a diverse nation, we have many traditional masterpieces that reflect our culture, special procedures, unique ingredients, and centuries-old heritage. Crafts and agricultural goods from Kashmir are highly regarded across the world. A variety of skilled trades have been performed throughout the state for generations. Legal protection for indigenous practices used in creating goods from a certain region is a key function of Geographical Indication, which protects the interests of all parties involved. In this paper, an endeavor will be made to examine the legal protection and challenges faced by the Kashmiri Pashmina and Kashmiri Saffron post its registration under the Geographical Indication Act, 1999. The first GI Tag holder of the State of Jammu & Kashmir was the Kashmiri Pashmina in September 2008, while the longawaited Geographical Indication (GI) designation for Kashmiri Saffron was announced recently in July 2020. Our study attempts to analyze these products' economic viability and assess the problems hindering the progress and prosperity of the authentic Pashmina and Saffron industry in Kashmir. http://kashmirjournaloflegalstudies.edu.in//Files/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/Journal/d51c4f88-b481-4e09-8ecf-05057a46ed5d.pdf Kashmir Journal of Legal Studies ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT - JAMMU & KASHMIR AR 0 0 ddc 0 0 399773 IIPA IIPA 2024-01-15 10(1), Jul, 2023: p.99-110 AR130537 2024-01-15 AR
