CZC meet: Exhibition to showcase Kashi's GI tagged products, promote local artisans
Varanasi: As part of the Central Zonal Council (CZC) meeting scheduled for Tuesday, a special exhibition featuring 10 GI-tagged handicraft products from Varanasi will be organised at the venue.
This exhibition will highlight the region's rich heritage under the initiative of the Yogi Adityanath-led govt.
The exhibition will be attended by Union home minister Amit Shah, Chief Minister
Yogi Adityanath
, and the CMs of Uttarakhand, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh — Pushkar Singh Dhami, Mohan Yadav, and Vishnudev Sai respectively — along with senior officials from various ministries and state departments.
The featured products, known for their intricate craftsmanship and cultural value, include Banaras Brocade and Saree, Banaras Zardozi, Banaras Gulabi Meenakari Craft, Banaras Glass Beads, Banaras Metal Repoussé Craft, Banaras Metal Casting Craft, Varanasi Wooden Lacquerware and Toys, Banaras Wood Carving, Varanasi Soft Stone Jali Work, and Banaras Hand Block Print.
Padma Shri awardee Rajni Kant, popularly known as the 'GI Man of India', hailed the event as a proud moment for Kashi. "This exhibition offers an opportunity to present the unparalleled skill of local artisans on a national platform. Eastern Uttar Pradesh is home to 32 GI-tagged products, which support nearly 20 lakh artisans and generate an annual business of over Rs 25,500 crore," he said.
Thanks to the Yogi govt's policies and efforts, UP now ranks first in India in terms of the number of GI-tagged products.

Currently, the state has 77 GI products, reflecting its rich art, craft traditions, agricultural excellence, and unique regional identities. An additional 30 products are in the process of receiving the GI tag, which will further strengthen this achievement.
Adarsh Kumar Maurya, a state awardee and expert in Varanasi's Soft Stone Jali Work, said, "CM Yogi is not just a supporter but a brand ambassador for GI products. His efforts have helped revive disappearing art forms and brought national recognition to local crafts," he said.
Maurya added that showcasing GI products to such a distinguished audience will help generate interest, appreciation, and potentially new business opportunities for the artisans of Kashi.
