Renewed push for GI tag for Chhenapoda
Odisha celebrated Chhenapoda Dibasa with renewed calls for its Geographical Indication (GI) tag. While the state officially observes the day on April 11, some in Nayagarh advocate for December 31, honoring the dessert's alleged creator, Bidyadhar Sahoo. The debate over its origin continues as efforts for GI recognition progress.
