NABARD supported the Human Welfare Association, an NGO, in implementing a project which was aimed at preventing
spurious handicrafts and also finding a market for authentic handicrafts produced by traditional artisans of Varanasi.
Registration of Geographical Indicator was conceived as a solution to protect traditional artisans and improve exports.
> The project has facilitated registration of eight traditional products.
> Legal protection has been provided to the artisans besides improving marketing of their products.
