BTR GI Heritage Park Announcement
What Happened
The Bodoland Territorial Council announced a GI Heritage Park in Chirang, Assam on September 11, 2025. The park aims to showcase and preserve 21 newly GI-tagged products, including Dokhona textiles and Kham instruments.
Why It Matters
It sets a precedent for regional heritage conservation by using Geographical Indication status to protect indigenous cultural identity and prevent commercial appropriation of tribal crafts.
