Q. With reference to Choppu Samaan, consider the following statements?
1. It is a traditional play toy for kids.
2. It has recently received GI (Geographical Indication) tag.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Answer: A
Notes:
Statement 1 is correct: It is a traditional toy for kids. It is a kitchen set that is made up of fine wood with polished edges. Furthermore, it is painted with harmless natural colours, so it is safe for children. Originally, artists used teak and rosewood, but now there is more use of eucalyptus and rubberwood.
Statement 2 is incorrect: Recently, a Welfare Association of wooden toymakers named Ambasamudram Bharani Mara Varna Kadasal Artisans has applied for the Geographical Indications tag for Choppu Samaan. It still has not received GI tag.
