No.6400/ NVVN/RE/2019-04 NVVN Pre-feasibility Report for Proposed Gas Supply DATE: 13.08.2019 Infrastructure for Andaman & Nicobar Power Project REV. NO. : 0 Page 4of 18 of all forms of electrical power including surplus power from NTPC stations for sale to SEBs, Power Distribution Companies, other organizations and bulk power consumers etc., in India and abroad. NVVN has also carried out the implementation of 1000 MW National Solar Mission (NSM) Phase-I scheme of Government of India as a Nodal Agency for selection of the Solar Power Projects and Long term PPAs for purchase of Solar power and PSAs for sale of bundled power to Discoms. NVVN has been carrying out sale of 733 MW Solar Bundled Power to 21 Discoms under NSM Phase I. In the Financial year 2017-18, NVVN had traded 17,278 Million Units (MUs) apart from Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) equivalent to 104 MUs and Energy Saving Certificates equivalent to 7,45,826. NVVN is a profit making company and has been consistently paying dividend to NTPC. During a meeting held under the Chairmanship of Hon’ble Minister of State (I/C) for Power & New and Renewable Energy on 10.01.2018, in which UT of Andaman and Nicobar Administration, Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), Central Electricity Authority (CEA), Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (MNRE), NTPC Ltd, NLC India Ltd, Petronet LNG Ltd, PGCIL, Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) participated, power related issues of Andaman & Nicobar (A&N) Islands were discussed and Hon. Minister stressed upon the need for finding Short Term and Long Term Power Solutions to meet the Energy Requirement of Andaman & Nicobar Islands. Subsequently, A&N Administration requested NTPC for installation of 55 MW Dual Fuel (Diesel and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)) based power project to meet the Long Term Power Solutions of Andaman & Nicobar Islands. Feasibility Report for a 55 MW Dual Fuel (Diesel and LNG) based power project has already been prepared by NTPC Limited and the project has been handed over to NVVN (A wholly owned subsidiary of NTPC) for implementation. Initially, it was envisaged that LNG required for the Power Project shall be met from M/s Petronet LNG Ltd (PLL)’s proposed LNG Terminal to be set up at Hope Town in Port Blair. However, subsequently, it was decided by GoI that the procurement of LNG shall also be done by NTPC and the fuel supplier would be identified through a Global tender. The gas supplier will decide the technology and capacity of gas infrastructure depending upon the techno-commercial viability. The possible technological options are discussed in the paragraph below. The present proposal is to establish a Gas supply Infrastructure with suitable technology to procure and supply the gas to the proposed Power Project at Hope Town. The Gas infrastructure and power project will be located adjacent to each other at Hope Town, Port Blair in A&N islands. The power project being developed by NVVN is envisaged to be commissioned during 2021-22. The Gas Supply Infrastructure for supply of gas by the party to be selected through global tender, is proposed to be commissioned by year 2022. Doc.

NO. : 0 Page 5of 18 2.2 Need for the Project & Its Importance to the Country & Region Proposed Gas supply Infrastructure is a dedicated unit to supply Gas to proposed gas power project, which is being set-up to meet the power requirement of A&N Islands. The detailed analysis of demand supply gap and justification for the project is presented in section 2.3. 2.3 Demand Supply Gap in Power The power project (55 MW) is envisaged to meet the power demand of Andaman & Nicobar Islands. It is expected to start yielding benefits from 2021-22. Being disconnected from the mainland, the A&N Islands relies on isolated power generation, powered by the Diesel Generation Systems. The power generation and distribution system of Andaman and Nicobar islands is served by standalone systems and each island has its own generation & distribution system. The power requirement of Andaman & Nicobar Islands is met mainly from Government owned diesel generation units with balance power purchased from Independent Power Producers (IPP). Power Generation Portfolio: (Dec-2015) SL.No. Generation Installed Capacity (MW) Percentage 1. Diesel 99.20 90.64 2 Hydro 5.25 4.80 3. Solar 5 4.56 Total 109.45 MW From the details of installed power plants in A&N Islands, it is observed that concentration of Diesel Power Plants (59 MW) is highest in South Andaman, where approximately 64 MW out of total base of 109.45 MW is installed. Conclusion As per above demand & supply scenario analysis, the sales of electricity is projected to grow from 229 MU in FY15 to around 330 MU by FY19 at a CAGR of 10% with Peak demand expected to grow from around 58 MW to around 68 MW by FY19. Moreover, out of the 99.2 MW DG capacities, about 51.745 MW of DG capacities has already outlived their lives thereby making the effective available DG capacity as 47.465 MW. In order to meet the increasing power demand (CAGR of 10%) of A&N Islands while reducing dependency on conventional diesel generation sets (DG Sets), the proposal for setting up of 55 MW Power Project, which would help in reducing the diesel consumption through cleaner and cheaper fuel (Gas as primary fuel) is justified.

NO. : 0 Page 6of 18 To meet the fuel requirement of proposed power project, installation of a Gas supply infrastructure is mandatory and justified. 2.4 Employment Generation (Direct & Indirect) due to the Project Gas supply Infrastructure shall be a mechanised and automated plant, therefore, the direct opportunities for employment during operation phase are limited. However, due to increased availability of gas and power, the opportunities for self- employment and business activities shall increase.

    J Krishi Vigyan 2018, 7 (Special Issue) : 6-11 DOI : 10.5958/2349-4433.2018.00148.4 Assessment of Fresh Water Resources for Effective Crop Planning in South Andaman District B K Nanda1, N Sahoo2, B Panigrahi3 and J C Paul4 ICAR-KVK, Port Blair (Andaman and Nicobar Group of Islands) ABSTRACT The rainfall data for 40 yr from 1978 to 2017 of the rainfed tropical islands of South Andaman district of Andaman and Nicobar group of islands were analyzed to find out the weekly effective rainfall. Weekly and monthly effective runoff was calculated by following the US Soil Conservation Service - Curve Number (SCS-CN) method. The value of weekly effective rainfall and monthly effective runoff at different level of probabilities was obtained with the help of ‘FLOOD’ software. The sum of effective rainfalls of standard meteorological weeks from 18th to 48th gives the value of fresh water resource availability during kharif season and the same value at 80 percent level of probability was estimated to be 2.07 X105 ha.m. The sum of expected runoff of every month resulted due to the effective rainfall gives the water resource availability during rabi season and its value at 80 percent level of probability was found to be 4.8 X 103 ha.m. All these information will immensely help the farmers, policy makers, planners and researchers to prepare a comprehensive crop action plan for the South Andaman district to make the agriculture profitable and sustainable. Key Words: Curve number, Effective rainfall, Fresh water resources, Storage capacity, Tropical islands INTRODUCTION the Nicobar Islands, which is separated by 10o Small islands are prevalent in the humid channel.

  • Srjis/Bimonthly/Dr. Sushim Kumar Biswas (5046-5055)
    SRJIS/BIMONTHLY/DR. SUSHIM KUMAR BISWAS (5046-5055) SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILE OF MIGRANT MUSLIM WORKERS IN ANDAMAN & NICOBAR ISLANDS Sushim Kumar Biswas, Ph. D. HOD, Department of Economics, Andaman College (ANCOL), Port Blair Abstract Socio-economic status (SES) is a multidimensional term. Today SES is deemed to be a hyper - dimensional latent variable that is difficult to elicit. Socioeconomic status is a latent variable in the sense that, like mood or well -being, it cannot be directly measured (Oakes & Rossi, 2003) and it is, some-what, associated with normative science. Finally, it converges to the notion that the definition of SES revolves around the issue of quantifying social inequality. However, it poses a serious problem for the researcher to measure the socio-economic status of migrant workers for short duration during the course of the year. Even in the absence of a coherent national policy on internal migration, millions of Indians are migrating from one destination to another with different durations (Chandrasekhar, 2017). The Andaman & Nicobar Islands(ANI) is no exception and a large number of in-migration is taking place throughout the year. Towards this direction, an attempt has been made to examine the socio-economic profile of migrant Muslim workers who have come to these Islands from West Bengal and Bihar in search of earning their livelihood. An intensive study has been conducted to assess their socio-economic well-being, literacy, income, health hazards, sanitation & medical facilities, family size, indebtedness, acculturation, social status, etc. This study reveals that their socio-economic profile in these Islands are downtrodden, nevertheless they are in a better state than their home town.

Keeping this view, the present Underweight, cross-sectional study was undertaken to determine the nutritional status by using four commonly Thinness, Andaman used anthropometric indicators: stunting (low height for age), wasting (low weight for height), and Nicobar Islands underweight (low weight for age), and thinness (using body mass index-BMI) among 200 children between 6-8 years of age from Port Blair, South Andaman district of Andaman and Nicobar Islands. In conclusion, it can be said that the overall health condition of these children was better in comparison to other studies from India in recent years. Though the sample size is small but similar kinds of studies from other islands with more sample sizes are required for better understanding, evaluation, and implementation of more effective nutritional programs. Introduction The first five years of a child’s life is very important to look after; as an estimated 5.2 million children in this age group died worldwide in 2019 according to the recent statement of the World Health Organization (WHO 2020).
