Vokkaliga outfit to seek GI tag for ragi mudde

Mysuru/ Bengaluru: A forum representing the Vokkaliga community is gearing to seek the Geographical Indication (GI) tag for ragi mudde (finger millet balls), a traditional food of the farming community in southern Karnataka and parts of Tamil Nadu. The First Circle Society (FCS), a forum for the development of the Vokkaliga business community, said it will apply for the tag as millet products are gaining international attention because of their health benefits. FCS president Nandeesh S Rajegowda, an intrapreneur from Hassan, said they have collected application forms to apply for the certification and formed a committee.

The aim is to standardise ragi mudde preparation which is high in nutrition, he added. The GI certification is issued by the Geographical Indications Registry for a product that belongs to a specific geographic location or origin. “Ragi mudde is one of the main cuisines of the Vokkaliga community and we have decided to get a GI tag for it,” said Rajegowda.

Bharathi Shankar of FCS said the cuisine first came to be known across India when HD Deve Gowda was the Prime Minister. “The new generation of the Vokkaliga community and other communities depending on farming are attracted to pizza, burgers and similar foreign food. We need to create awareness on the importance of our cuisine.

Our children should come back to our traditional food and hence, we need to popularise it,” she said. She said the FCS is going to showcase the traditional food in 12 stalls at Udyami Vokkaliga Expo-2024 between January 19 and 21 at Palace Grounds. More than 100 Vokkaliga entrepreneurs will showcase their goods and services in this expo which will have discussions in more than 12 sectors, including health, education, entertainment, MSME, startups, food and hospitality among others.

MG Balakrishna, senior vice-president of FKCCI, said FCS will guide the new entrepreneurs about where to start their industry, how to get profit and other things. The forum will also help encourage people from the community to enter into new startup businesses. According to Ramesh Naik, owner of a restaurant of the city, demand for the millet-made food items is gradually increasing.

“Earlier finger millet balls were available only in limited hotels. But now it is available in many food joints. But the big challenge is finding good cooks who prepare finger millet balls,” he said.
