Abstract
The Indian Himalayan region has huge social, cultural, ethnic and food diversity. This has lead to thousands of people engage themselves in the production of hundreds of indigenous products which are manufactured in small households or in small units. These products have premium value for the developed nations and first world market. However the unethical selling of fake products are eroding the charm and value of such novel products and poor people engaged in production of original products are getting socio-economically deprived. Under such circumstances the Geographical Indications protection has the potential to eliminate fake items and benefit both producer and consumers. This will boost export and tourism and indirectly lead to poverty alleviation and sustainable development of the Indian Himalayan region.
