Jammu and Kashmir Lt Governor Manoj Sinha Sunday congratulated the people of the Union Territory over Basohli Painting becoming the first independent GI-tagged product from the Jammu region.
Sharing the inspiring stories of change-makers in his ‘Awaam ki Awaaz’ program, he further said that the Kashmir division was witnessing the ‘Yellow Revolution’ with oilseed crops registering significant growth. “There will be additional opportunities for oil extraction and value addition and, therefore, more entrepreneurial opportunities for people,” he added.
Talking about the GI-tagging of Basohli Painting, he said: “It is a significant landmark in preserving and promoting the artistic and cultural heritage of J&K UT.”
“Basohli Painting has become the first independent GI-tagged product from Jammu region. It will provide access to customers to authentic products and a huge boost to local economy,” observed the Lt Governor.
