India is taking away the patent of Jamdani Saree along with
66 other village heritage of Bangladesh under strict confidential. Jamdani will
be known to this world as a heritage of India if that is successful. Then Bangladesh
will have to pay an amount for producing the Jamdani saris.
Currently there are about 400 families related with the
production of Jamdani and those are exported to about 108 countries. Through
geographical indication products of Jamdani Sarees registration India will be
able to earn 600 million Indian rupees every year.
Due to the inaction opportunity of the Ministry of Industry
and Commerce as well as the government after Jamdani Saree the registration of
Fajli mangos will be taken by neighboring countries. Already America has taken
the geographical indication of Neem trees. And in future for producing these
goods for commercial uses copyright Royalty will have to be given to the
registered country.
Mean while India from April 2004 to 2009 has applied for 117
products as geographical indication product and within those 117 products there
are Bangladeshi Nashikatha, Jamdani Saree and fajli mangoes.
