GI Tag Kya Hota Hai? – Aasaan Bhasha Mein Samjhein
GI Tag ka full form hai – Geographical Indication Tag (Bhaugolik Sanket Tag).
GI Tag ek vishesh pramanikaran (certification) hai jo un utpadon (products) ko diya jata hai jo kisi specific bhaugolik kshetra (geographical region) se aate hain — aur unki quality ya khaasiyat seedha us jagah se judi hoti hai.
GI Tag = Utpatti ka Pramanpatra + Gunvatta ki Guarantee
Matlab: Ye product SIRF is jagah se aa sakta hai.
Koi doosri jagah ise usi naam se legally nahi bana sakta!
Sochiye aise: Agar koi company Delhi mein ‘Darjeeling Tea’ bana kar bechne lage – to kya wo asli Darjeeling Tea hogi? Bilkul nahi! Kyunki Darjeeling Tea sirf Darjeeling ki specific climate aur soil mein hi ug sakti hai. Isliye use GI Tag diya gaya hai jo ise legally protect karta hai.
Isi tarah, Mithila Makhana sirf Mithila kshetra ke vishesh taalabon mein hi ug sakta hai – aur isi liye use GI Tag mila!
India mein GI Tags ‘Geographical Indications of Goods (Registration and Protection) Act, 1999’ ke tahat diye jaate hain. GI Registry Chennai mein sthit hai, jo DPIIT (Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade) ke antargat aata hai.

Mithila Makhana Ko GI Tag Kab Aur Kaise Mila?
GI Tag Ki Yatra
Mithila Makhana ke GI Tag ki kahani ek sangharsh, gaurav aur pehchaan ki kahani hai.
Sadiyon se, Bihar ke Mithila kshetra ke kisan khaskar Madhubani, Darbhanga aur aas-paas ke jilo ke prakritik taalabon mein Makhana (Euryale Ferox) ugaate aa rahe hain. Asal me, Bharat ki kul Makhana Supply ka lagbhag 85% se 90% hissa Bihar se aata hai, aur yah duniya bhr me hone wale kul utpaad ka bhi lagbhag 80 % hai, aur Mithila kshetra iska kendr (heartland) hai.
Lekin bahut samay tak, is anmol superfood ko sarkari manyata nahi mili. GI Tag ke bina, doosre kshetron ka sasta Makhana ‘Mithila Makhana’ ke naam par becha ja raha tha — jo kisanon aur grahako dono ke saath dhokha tha.
Sarkari Manyata April 2022
Bihar Agricultural University, Sabour (Bhagalpur) ne GI Tag aawedan (application) mein mahatwapurn bhumika nibhai. Darbhanga MP Gopal Jee Thakur ne sansad mein kai baar Mithila Makhana ke liye GI Tag ki maang ki.
Aakhirkar, April 2022 mein, Government of India ne officially Mithila Makhana ko GI Tag de diya – aur ye Bihar ka 5th GI Tagged product ban gaya:
- Jardalu Aam – Bhagalpur (1st)
- Katarni Dhaan (Chawal) – (2nd)
- Magahi Paan – Nawada (3rd)
- Shahi Litchi – Muzaffarpur (4th)
- Mithila Makhana – Madhubani/Mithila Region (April 2022) (5th )
GI Tag ki registration Mithilanchal Makhana Utpadak Sangh, Purnia ke naam par ki gayi hai, jo Mithila ke Makhana kisanon ka pratinidhitwa (representation) karta hai.
Mithila Makhana Vaigyanik Roop Se Kyun Alag Hai?
GI Registry ne sirf tag hi nahi diya usne teen vishesh vaigyanik karanon ko bhi maana jo Mithila Makhana ko genuinely superior banate hain:
1. Benzene Prakritik Nami Bhoomi (Unique Natural Wetlands)
Mithila ke kisan Himalayan nadiyon se posite prakritik nami bhoomion (wetlands) ka upyog karte hain. Ye paani vishesh khanijo (minerals) se bharpoor hai jo Euryale Ferox paudha absorb karta hai. Isi ‘terroir’ ki wajah se Mithila Makhana ka beej zyada sakht aur ghan (dense) hota hai jisse uski signature crunch aati hai.
टेरोइर (Terroir) का हिंदी में अर्थ किसी विशेष क्षेत्र की मिट्टी, जलवायु, मौसम और भौगोलिक परिस्थितियों का वह सामूहिक प्रभाव है जो वहाँ उगाई जाने वाली फसल के स्वाद, महक और विशेषताओं को तय करता है।
2. Sadiyon Purani Paramparagat Gyan (Traditional Knowledge)
Mallah farming community ne sadiyon mein Makhana ki kheti ki kala ko perfect kiya hai. Paramparagat tarike se talab mein ghus kar beej nikalna aur mitti ke bartan (karahi) mein bhunna – ye kaam industrial machines se replace nahi ho sakta. Mitti ka porosity slow aur even heat transfer deta hai jo metal industrial roasters nahi de sakte.
3. Vishesh Bhaugolik Kshetra
Mithila kshetra ki vishesh mitti, paani ki quality, jalvayu aur paramparagat kheti ki paddhatiyan milkar ek aisa utpad banati hain jo kahin aur usi quality mein nahi ug sakta.
Isliye GI Tag exist karta hai is visheshta ko protect karne ke liye aur ensure karne ke liye ki grahak hamesha ASLI Mithila Makhana hi payein.
GI Tag Kya Hota Hai – Aur Aapko Isse Kyun Dekhna Chahiye?
Jab aap GI Tagged Mithila Makhana khareedte hain, to aapko guarantee milti hai:
- ASLIPTA (Authenticity) – Makhana sach mein Bihar ke Mithila kshetra se aata hai
- GUNVATTA (Quality) – GI Registry ke quality standards poore hote hain
- SHUDDHHATA (Purity) – Doosre kshetron ke saste Makhana ki milawat nahi
- KISAN SAHYOG – Aapki kharid seedha Mithila ke kisanon ko faayda deti hai
- POSHAN (Nutrition) – Asli Mithila Makhana ka nutritional profile superior hai
- KANUNI SURAKSHA – Ab nakli ‘Mithila Makhana’ bechna India mein illegal hai
Makhana online ya offline kharidne se pehle hamesha GI Tag certification check karein. Saste nakli Makhana ke chakkar mein mat padein!
