The products of The AABHAR Collection are drawn mainly from which two identification systems for distinctive regional goods?
- A.One District, One Product and Geographical Indication tags
- B.Agmark and Hallmark certification
- C.Startup India and Stand Up India registration
- D.Udyam registration and ISI marking
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is One District, One Product and Geographical Indication tags. The storefront was built around products associated with the ODOP initiative and goods carrying a GI tag, so that a government buyer looking for a gift also ends up supporting a recognised craft cluster. Option B is wrong because Agmark certifies agricultural produce and hallmarking applies to precious metals; neither defines the collection. Option C is wrong because Startup India and Stand Up India are enterprise support programmes rather than product identification systems. Option D is wrong because Udyam registration records an enterprise with the government and the ISI mark certifies conformity to industrial standards. The collection also serves a wider aim, giving artisans, weavers, rural entrepreneurs and women-led enterprises a link to public procurement through a Vocal for Local storefront.
