nGV Natural Industry is supplying two such vegetables – banana stem and tender jackfruit – in RTC format
You would have tasted some of the vegetables in your childhood and want it to taste the same way now also. But the problems associated with processing of those vegetables make many people to look at other alternatives.
Now, a Bengaluru-based agro-food processing start-up has been supplying two such vegetables – banana stem and tender jackfruit – in ready-to-cook (RTC) format.
Naveen GV, Founder of nGV Natural Industry Pvt Ltd, told
BusinessLine that some vegetables that are easily available are difficult to process. Added to this, many in today’s generation don’t want to spend time on the cumbersome process of making dishes from such vegetables.
GI registration of items
I t looks strange that despite ample opportunity given by the Industries and Commerce Department, those departments in the UT that are directly related to have locally goods and products with Geographical Indication (GI) tagging have, so far not submitted the requisite details of the identified items. It is to be appreciated and in that context the importance thereof understood as well that such tagging of the local products which are saleable and in good demand in international markets, need such tagging. In other words, not only would exports to such countries increase but the growers and producers of such items stand benefitted enormously. The Geographical Indication is nothing but a mark to identify such goods which could come under the categories of agriculture, natural or nature gifted, manufacturing, hand made and carved etc in a particular locality, area, territory etc where alone such goods could be attributable to particular geographical origin.

Why â98% of oximeters in Indian market are Made-in-Chinaâ but buyers donât care

New Delhi: Pulse oximeters, the bite-sized devices that help monitor your oxygen levels, have emerged as key tools in the Covid pandemic by guiding patients on when they need medical attention (a reading of 94-98 is usually considered normal).
In India, Chinese imports dominate the pulse oximeter market, with an estimated 98 per cent coming in from across the border. While the Ladakh stand-off between India and China stoked a sentiment of protest against Chinese goods last year, chemists say they have experienced no such concern with oximeters.Â
Only Handicrafts Directorate initiates process for more crafts

JAMMU, Apr 25: The concerned departments of the Government of Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir are dilly-dallying on submission of details for Geographical Indication (GI) tagging of locally produced products and goods despite ample opportunity given by the Industries and Commerce Department and being aware of the fact that such an initiative would help the people affiliated with the job to get good amount in international markets.
Due to this, the Industries and Commerce Department is finding it difficult to furnish the requisite information to the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India, which is more than keen to extend necessary help to the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir on this aspect.
