Andaman & Nicobar Islands (For O.fficial Uss Only) CENSUS OF INDIA 1981 SERIES-24 ANDAMAN & NICOBAR ISLANDS PART I-A ADMINISTRATION REPORT-ENUMERATION RISHI DEV Kf\PUR of the Indian Administrative Service Director of Census Operations Andaman & Nicobal' Islands PREFACE Writing of Administration report is one of the valuable traditions of the ~emus Organisa60n. The Director of Census Operations after c.oncluding the census prepares this report and records his experiences fIght from the stage of starting prep arations for the census to the stage of conclusion of the operations. In a. way, the Administratiori report serves as a form of basic text work f9r the succeeding officers who ha,;,e to make all the arrangements for the massive census operat1oI's. TbIS . thus is the document which not only serves as a useful guide but p!ovldes enough material for improving not merely the administrative sIde of the census work but· also its technical skills as well. The Administration report for A & N Islands attempts to give detailed accounts of the organisation of census in this Union territory. It records some useful personal experiences and views on inlportant aspects of the census taking. It also attempts to analyse and evaluate t!'te procedures adopted for census taking with the hope that this evalua­ tIOn would help in bringing further improvements in various stages of census work wherever such a necessity has been fe1 t. Normally, the Administration report is prepared by the Director in charge of the census operations who experiences through all stages for conducting census and who gains enough in-depth experiences to record his observations. In the case of the Union terr.itory of A ~ N Islands, however, due to sheer circumstance.s, it has not been pOSSIble for th(~ single Director jn charge of the census to complete this work. The preparations for the 1981 Census were ini6ated by the Directorate under the supervision of Shri Ashoke Joshi, Chief Secretary and ex­ oflbio 0 :r~ctor of C~nsus Operations, A & N Islands. Consequent upon Shri Joshi's transfer, the reins of census work were taken over by Shri B.K. Singh. Fortunately, Shri B.K. Singh could stay for SQme time in these islands and guide census operations an through till the en\fmera­ rion was over. Later on, Shri Jagdish Sagar took over as the Drrector of Census Operations in ex-officio capacity. Shri Jagdish Sagar also had to leave for taking another inlportant assignment leaving the charge of census w.ork to the care of Shri R.D. Kapur, Chief Se~retary .a~d ex-officio DIrector of Census Operations, A & N Islands. ThIS ~~~~lS­ tration report on Enumeration has been prepared on the lnltlative and under the supervisjon of Shri Kapur who has faithfully attempted to incorporate all the observations and experiences of his predecessors in order to make the report meaningful in the real sense. Before the report could be finalised, Shri Kapur too had to leave the charge of Director of Census Operations for taking up more important assigmnent with the Government at New Delhi. But before leaving the charge of census work, Shri Kapur finished the major work on this report despite his numerous preoccupations. This report is the outcome of the rkh administrative experiences of both Shri B.K. Singh and Shn R.D. Kapur who were instrumental in seeing through the main census work and in expediting publications of various census reports of thjs Directorate. We express our gratitude to Shri P. Padmanabha, ex-Registrar General and Census Commissioner, India and Shri V.S. Verma, the present Registrar General and Census Commissioner, India and Shri V.P. Pandey, ex-Joint Registrar General, India for their valuable help and g:uidance at various stages of this work. We are also grateful to Shri N. Rama Rao, Assistant Registrar General (C&T) of the Office of th(! Registrar General, India for going through the report and for making valuable suggestions. In the Office of the Director of Census Operations, A & N Islands, my predecessor, Shri S.P. Sharma took lot of pains in preparing this report. We acknowledge his valuabl e contribution in this regard. S/Shri M.L. Puri, Office Superintendent, P.K.T. Nair, Statistkal Assistant, K.V.K. Nair, Stenographer and V.O. Koshy, Computer also rendered valuable assistance in the preparation of this volume. I am thankful to all of them. R.K. BHATIA PORT BLAIR, DY.

The Andaman Islands Penal Colony: Race, Class, Criminality, and the British Empire* C LARE A NDERSON School of History, Politics and International Relations University of Leicester University Road, Leicester LE1 7RH, UK E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: This article explores the British Empire’s configuration of imprisonment and transportation in the Andaman Islands penal colony. It shows that British governance in the Islands produced new modes of carcerality and coerced migration in which the relocation of convicts, prisoners, and criminal tribes underpinned imperial attempts at political dominance and economic development. The article focuses on the penal transportation of Eurasian convicts, the employment of free Eurasians and Anglo-Indians as convict overseers and administrators, the migration of “volunteer” Indian prisoners from the mainland, the free settlement of Anglo-Indians, and the forced resettlement of the Bhantu “criminal tribe”.It examines the issue from the periphery of British India, thus showing that class, race, and criminality combined to produce penal and social outcomes that were different from those of the imperial mainland. These were related to ideologies of imperial governmentality, including social discipline and penal practice, and the exigencies of political economy. INTRODUCTION Between 1858 and 1939, the British government of India transported around 83,000 Indian and Burmese convicts to the penal colony of the Andamans, an island archipelago situated in the Bay of Bengal (Figure 1).

  • The Invisible Tribal Tourism in Andaman & Nicobar Islands
    Perspectives on Business Management & Economics Volume II • September 2020 ISBN: 978-81-947738-1-8 THE INVISIBLE TRIBAL TOURISM IN ANDAMAN & NICOBAR ISLANDS MOUSIME XALXO Assistant Professor, Indian Academy Degree College, Bengaluru ORCID ID: 0000-0002-7034-7646 ABSTRACT The Andaman Islands consist of 527 islands that lie in the Andaman Sea and Bay of Bengal. A total land area of 8249 sq. kms forms this beautiful union territory. The island can sustain these tribes and carry them as one of the major attractions in tourism. Tribal tourism is one of the major sources of income and attraction for tourists. Tourism and agriculture are the primary sources of income on the island. The original population of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands consists of aboriginal indigenous people that are tribal. They dwell in the forest and remain isolated for thousands of years. Tribal tourism connects to tribal culture, values, traditions, tourism products owned and operated by the tribal people. But the tribal population of the islands is not aware of the opportunity and challenges faced by them. Tribes lack in all the facilities provided by the Government because they don’t like to surround or interact with the population and are indirectly is the source and contribution to tourism. The finding of the paper states that education is the key to tribal development. Tribal children have very low levels of participation in social-cultural activities. Though the development of the tribes is taking place in India, the pace of development has been rather slow. If govt. will not take some drastic steps for the development of tribal education KEYWORDS: Tribal tourism, sustainable tourism, challenges and opportunities JEL CLASSIFICATION: D00, E00, E71 CITE THIS ARTICLE: Xalxo, Mousime.

  • 1. the Andaman and Nicobar Islands The
    1. The Andaman and Nicobar Islands The Andaman and Nicobar (A&N) archipelago comprises of about 556 small and big islands covering an area of 8,249 sq km with a coastline of 1,962 km between 92-94 0 E longitude and 6-14 0 N latitude in the Bay of Bengal (Fig.1). The northern group of islands form the Andaman Islands, while the southern group of islands form the Nicobar Islands, which is separated by 10 0 channel. The North Andaman, Middle Andaman and South Andaman islands occupy major land mass. The A&N group of islands fall under hot humid to par humid island eco-region designated as Agro- ecological Region 21. The tropical ecosystem of the A&N Islands is very unique having diverse species with wide range of genetic diversity in varying density. High rainfall, extremely humid climate, undulating terrain and backwater creeks are very conducive for faunal and floral diversity. Evergreen and littoral forests, mangroves and coral reefs are important components of the existing ecosystems prevailing in the islands. 2. Area and Population The total geographical area of A&N Islands is 8,249 sq km. The forests in A&N Islands occupy about 92.2 percent of the total geographical area in which about 87 percent area is under legally notified forest. Remaining area is available for agriculture and allied activities. The area of Andaman group of islands is 6,408 sq km whereas the Nicobar group of islands is 1,841 sq km. The statistical details of area and population of different districts and blocks of the A&N Islands are given in Table 1.

The lair museum and rhe marble plaques bearing the names of freedom fighters deported [0 [he Islands since J 857, when rhe First War of Indian Independence was fought, leave ,]5 indelible imprint on rhe minds of onlookers about the rel.entless struggle our people haG to wage to free the country from the foreign yoke. The construction of the jail having 698 cells was completed in 1906 as a three-scoreyed edifice with seven wings, each stretching from a Central Tower like the spoke of a wheel.

  • Study of Disaster Mitigation for Car Nicobar Island Using Remote Sensing and GIS
    IOSR Journal of Applied Geology and Geophysics (IOSR -JAGG) e-ISSN: 2321–0990, p-ISSN: 2321–0982.Volume 1, Issue 4 (Sep. – Oct. 2013), PP 37-46 www.iosrjournals.org Study of Disaster Mitigation for Car Nicobar Island Using Remote Sensing and GIS Swapan Kumar Biswas, N. Ramanujam and K. Dharanirajan Department of Disaster Management, Pondcherry University, Broorkshabad, Port Blair – 744112, Andaman Abstract: December 26th 2004 earthquake with 9.3 Mw caused one of the deadliest Tsunami in the human history. Subsidence of land mass t o 1.5 m along the eastern part of entire Andaman and Nicobar islands and up lift of 1.5 m in the western margins of the island system were observed. Most of the islands are constituted with folded mountain belts, except Car Nicobar. The epicenter of December 26, 2004 Sumatra earthquake was 163 km away from Great Nicobar, the southernmost island and hence it was strongly felt in the entire Andaman & Nicobar group of islands including Car Nicobar. Evidence of subsidence was also observed at the Car Nicobar the northernmost island of the Nicobar group (N9.2 o lat., E92.4 o long). Car Nicobar is being almost flat terrain to the east and an elevated terrain with maximum elevation of about 70 m to the west and hence the destructive Tsunami waves engulfed in the eastern part of the island. This island was worst affected in terms of damage and loss of life. The objective of this study is to mitigate the impact of disasters in the form of Tsunami and earthquake and cyclone for the Car Nicobar Island.
