Madhya Pradesh continues to reinforce its identity as the authentic heartland of India, where living traditions, agricultural heritage and rural craftsmanship remain deeply embedded in everyday life. With its clean and green landscapes and reputation as a multi-specialty tourism destination, the state is steadily emerging as a model for responsible and inclusive tourism—one that creates tangible benefits for local communities. A significant driver of this transformation is the growing recognition of Geographical Indication (GI)–tagged products, which is enhancing livelihoods for rural artisans and farmers across the state.
Rising global interest in GI-tagged crafts, textiles and foods is strengthening the state’s position as a land of archaeological, geological and cultural richness. These products allow visitors to engage with traditions that have been nurtured over centuries and remain rooted in specific regions and communities. Iconic examples such as Chanderi sarees, Ratlami sev, Kadaknath chicken and Maheshwari weaves embody the distinct cultural identity of their places of origin. Supported by the state’s tourism initiatives, these products are gaining wider visibility, assured authenticity and enhanced market value.
Recent additions to the state’s GI portfolio—including Gond painting, the wrought iron crafts of Dindori and the Rewa Sunderja mango—are further deepening traveler interest. Visitors are increasingly seeking opportunities to meet master artisans, observe traditional techniques, and purchase products directly from the source. This direct engagement not only ensures better income security for artisans but also helps safeguard traditional knowledge systems that form the cultural backbone of Madhya Pradesh.
