  • PONNANI PEPPER PROJECT History Ponnani Is Popularly Known As “The Mecca of Kerala”
    PONNANI PEPPER PROJECT HISTORY Ponnani is popularly known as “the Mecca of Kerala”. As an ancient harbour city, it was a major trading hub in the Malabar region, the northernmost end of the state. There are many tales that try to explain how the place got its name. According to one, the prominent Brahmin family of Azhvancherry Thambrakkal once held sway over the land. During their heydays, they offered ponnu aana [elephants made of gold] to the temples, and this gave the land the name “Ponnani”. According to another, due to trade, ponnu [gold] from the Arab lands reached India for the first time at this place, and thus caused it to be named “Ponnani”. It is believed that a place that is referred to as “Tyndis” in the Greek book titled Periplus of the Erythraean Sea is Ponnani. However historians have not been able to establish the exact location of Tyndis beyond doubt. Nor has any archaeological evidence been recovered to confirm this belief. Politically too, Ponnani had great importance in the past. The Zamorins (rulers of Calicut) considered Ponnani as their second headquarters. When Tipu Sultan invaded Kerala in 1766, Ponnani was annexed to the Mysore kingdom. Later when the British colonized the land, Ponnani came under the Bombay Province for a brief interval of time. Still later, it was annexed Malabar and was considered part of the Madras Province for one-and-a-half centuries. Until 1861, Ponnani was the headquarters of Koottanad taluk, and with the formation of the state of Kerala in 1956, it became a taluk in Palakkad district.

    Epidemiological and entomological aspects of an outbreak of chikungunya in Lakshadweep Islands, India, during 2007 R.S. Sharmaa#, M.K. Showkath Alib, G.P.S. Dhillona aNational Vector-Borne Disease Control Programme, Delhi – 110 054, India bNational Institute of Communicable Diseases, Kozhikode, Kerala, India Abstract Since 2006, the Indian state of Kerala has reported outbreaks of chikungunya (CHIK). During July- August 2007, an unusual increase in the incidence of fever was noticed in Kadmat, Amini and Kavaratti Islands in the Union Territory of Lakshwadeep, a group of Indian islands adjacent to the Kerala coast in the Arabian Sea. The populations affected as per the primary health centre (PHC) records of three islands, viz. Kadmat, Amini and Kavaratti, was 85%, 1.4% and 0.15% respectively. Entomological surveys revealed very high larval indices of Aedes albopictus only in the three surveyed islands. Aedes aegypti, the classical vector of dengue, was not detected. The maximum breeding of Ae. albopictus was found in coconut shells (57%), tyres (9%), metal containers (9%) and plastic containers (8%). The breeding was also detected in tree holes and rat-bitten coconuts on top of the trees. The House Index for Ae. albopictus ranged between 95.4% in Kavaratti to 79% in Amini. Kadmat island which was the worst affected, recording the maximum Container Index of 90%, compared with 40% in Amini island. The CHIK outbreak seemed to have been caused by importation of the virus from Kerala, because of heavy movement of the islanders to the mainland.

  • Shoreline Changes and Reef Strengthening at Kavaratti Island in Lakshadweep Archipelago - a Case Study
    Indian Journal of Geo-Marine Sciences Vol. 43(7), July 2014, pp. 1140-1144 Shoreline changes and reef strengthening at Kavaratti island in Lakshadweep Archipelago - A case study T.N.Prakash*, L.Sheela Nair & Tiju I. Varghese National Centre for Earth Science Studies, Ministry of Earth Sciences, Government of India Trivandrum 695 011 *[E-mail:[email protected]] Received 24 August 2013; revised 22 October 2013 The Lakshadweep islands experience severe coastal erosion problem every year due to high monsoonal wave activity. Majority of the islands in the group are surrounded by a reef on the western part which acts as a first line defence for the incoming waves. It was documented from many earlier studies that the reef height in many of these islands has decreased due to both natural and human activities. In many of the islands in the group the widening of entrance channel has been carried out by cutting reef edge as early as in 1971 resulting in high waves entering the lagoonal coast causing high erosion at certain stretches of the island coast. In this paper we are presenting the Kavaratti Island as a case study through systematic collection of beach profiles and monitoring of littoral environment observations for waves and currents. Further, an attempt has also been made for a feasibility study of reconstruction of part of the reef (~400 m length) on the northern part of the island through numerical modelling studies which indicates that the reef strengthening would stabilize the beach. Adopting suitable remedial measures to allow free movement of trapped sediments could be an environment friendly soft measure that would further improve the condition of the island coastline.

  • Technical Report on Design and Execution of Desalination Plants in Minicoy and Agatti, UT Lakshadweep
    Technical Report on Design and Execution of Desalination Plants in Minicoy and Agatti, UT Lakshadweep Sea water desalination is attaining increasing attention of present day policy makers, especially with the growing demands that urbanization, population explosion, irregular rainfall and ground water contamination on the fragile natural resources. ‘Low Temperature Thermal Desalination’ (LTTD) is one process that uses the availability of a temperature gradient between two water bodies, such as the Ocean Thermal Gradient that describes temperature variation across the depth of the oceans, to obtain fresh water. The available thermal gradient between warmer surface water and colder deep seawater is utilized by flash evaporating the warm water at low temperatures and condensing the resultant vapour with cold water. Earth System Science Organization, Ministry of Earth Sciences, Government of India, Through National Institute of Ocean Technology (ESSO-NIOT), India, has successfully demonstrated the 100 m3/day capacity land based desalination plant in the remote islands of Agatti and Minicoy of UT Lakshadweep in 2011 following the initial success of similar capacity plant at Kavaratti island.

Physical data and morphological features of coral reef fiom Kadmat Island (the numbers in parenthesis refer to an area in km2). DISTRIBUTION AND DIVERSITY OF MARINE FLORA IN CORAL REEF ECOSYSTEMS OF KADMAT ISLAND IN LAKSHADWEEP ARCHIPELAGO, ARABIAN SEA, INDIA. VIJAY V. DESAI ', DEEPALI S. KOMARPANT and TANAJI G. JAGTAP ABSTRACT The coral reef of Kadmat Island of Lakshadweep was assessed for its biological components along with relevant hydrological characteristics. Corals were represented by 12 species, the most dominant being Acropora and Porites. The distribution of coral was mainly confined to the reef slope and fore reef; however, the cover was very poor except for a few patches on the fore reef towards northwest (< 10%). The lagoon and reef flats were almost devoid of corals. The low counts (0-80x10~ cells I-') and poor composition (11 spp.) of phytoplanktons could be due to oligotrophic waters around the island. The high contents of dissolved oxygen (DO) might be due to photosynthetic activities of macrophytes in the lagoon. Seagrass meadow occupied only 0.14 km2 area of the lagoon leaving 98% of it barren. It was more prominent in the mid- and landward region of the lagoon due to fine and well-sorted thick sediment. Seagrass flora was comprised of two species and was dominated by Cymodocea rotundata.

  • Administration of the Union Territory of Lakshadweep
    ADMINISTRATION OF THE UNION TERRITORY OF LAKSHADWEEP PRESENTATION OF SHRI J. K.DADOO, IAS ADMINISTRATOR 55TH NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL MEETING AT NEW DELHI ON 24TH JULY, 2010 Hon’ble Prime Minister, Deputy Chairman of Planning Commission, Members of National Development Council, Union Ministers, Chief Ministers and distinguished dignitaries: It is a matter of privilege for me to participate in the deliberations of the 55th National Development Council (NDC) convened by our Hon’ble Prime Minister to consider and approve the Mid-Term Appraisal of 11th Five Year Plan inter-alia with other high focus issues. I represent the U.T. of Lakshadweep which is a group of 36 Coral Islands with the total land area of just 32 Sq. kms. 10 Islands are inhabited and these Islands are at a distance of about 300 to 450 kms. from mainland, Kochi. From pin to plane, everything comes from the mainland and this makes these Islands the remotest and the most difficult to live in. Basic infrastructure is limited and yet nearly 70,000 people inhabit these 10 Islands. Shipping is the backbone and Mangalore is the food lifeline while Calicut is the fuel lifeline. All other provisions are supplied from Kochi. In the above circumstances, regular flights from Kochi, Mangalore and Calicut to Agatti, the only Airport are imperative. At least 4 to 5 all weather ships which can ensure smooth and regular transportation of goods and passengers in the 5 months of the monsoon are equally paramount. With rising aspirations of the people, a fast speed vessel which can complete the journey between mainland and the Islands in about 6 hours, and provide a Rajdhani train kind of link would be extremely beneficial for the Islands.
