Meerut scissors make the cut for GI tag For the first time, a handmade tool from micro and small and medium enterprises in India has been registered for a geographical indicator (GI) tag, an official of a body promoting this sector. The tool is a pair of scissors made of metal scrap by a community in Meerut, which is “the only scissor cluster in India” and which has been making the product for more than three centuries. Important aspects of these scissors 1) Known for their sharpness, the scissors are used at home and by industrial garment manufacturers 2) They can be repaired, unlike other scissors that are thrown out after use 3) The Meerut scissors are made of carbon steel blades sourced from scrap metal found in cars, buses, trucks and railways. The handles are made of plastic, aluminium or alloys, which are sourced from old utensils. 4) All the parts are pre-used. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Taken from Focus UPSC’s January 1-15 Current Affairs Module
