Question

Darjeeling Tea is known for

• A. Mostly grown in UP and HP
• B. First product to be recognised as traditional knowledge
• C. First Indian product to get a GI tag
• D. First product to get a patent

Hint:

A Geographical Indication (GI) protects products whose quality or reputation is linked to a particular geographical area. Examples of Indian GI products:

• Darjeeling Tea

• Banarasi Saree

• Pochampally Ikat

• Mysore Sandal Soap

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Recall what a GI tag protects.
A Geographical Indication tag certifies that a product comes from a specific region and carries qualities linked to that origin.
Step 2: Eliminate the wrong claims.
Darjeeling Tea is grown in West Bengal and not in UP and HP, and it is not linked to being the first traditional knowledge product or the first patent, so those options do not fit.
Step 3: Confirm the correct fact.
Darjeeling Tea holds the distinction of being the first Indian product to receive a Geographical Indication tag.
\[ \boxed{\text{First Indian product to get a GI tag}} \]
