  • Development Or Despoilation? - Krishnakumar
    Andaman Islands: Development or Despoilation? - Krishnakumar DEVELOPMENT OR DESPOILATION? The Andaman Islands under colonial and postcolonial regimes M.V. KRISHNAKUMAR Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi <[email protected]> Abstract The last quarter of the 19th Century marked an important watershed in the history of the Andaman Islands. The establishment of a penal settlement and an Imperial forestry service, along with other radical changes in the islands’ traditional economy and society, completely transformed the basic pattern of their forest resource use and entire system of forest management. These colonial policies, directly or indirectly, had a drastic impact on the indigenous population and island ecology. This article analyses the sources of environmental change in the Andaman Islands by examining the general ecological impacts of the state initiated development programmes. It also analyses the ‘civilising missions’ and forestry operations undertaken by British colonial administrators as well as the Indian state’s development initiatives under the ‘Five Year Plans’ that followed Indian independence in 1947. Keywords Andaman Islands, forestry, development, environmental change, Andaman tribes Introduction On December 26th 2004 a tsunami triggered by an earthquake off the south east coast of Sumatra swept across the Indian Ocean swamping many low-lying coastal areas and causing death, destruction of properties and infrastructure and despoliation of crops. Amongst those territories worst affected by the surge were the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. When Indian prime minister Dr Manmohan Singh visited the islands in the immediate aftermath of the flooding he identified that the project to reconstruct and rehabilitate coastal areas of islands provided the opportunity for a ‘New Andamans’ in which sustainable agriculture and fishery enterprises could exist in harmony with the natural environment.

  • Echinodermata Associated with Coral Reefs of Andaman and Nicobar Islands
    Rec. zoo!. Surv. India: 100 (Part 3-4) : 21-60, 2002 ECHINODERMATA ASSOCIATED WITH CORAL REEFS OF ANDAMAN AND NICOBAR ISLANDS D. R. K. SASTRY Zoological Survey of India, A & N Regional Station, Port Blair - 744 102 INTRODUCTION Coral reefs are an important ecosystem of the coastal environment. The reef ecosystem IS highly productive and provides substratum, shelter, food etc. to a variety of biota. Consequently a number of faunal and floral elements are attracted towards the reef ecosystem and are closely associated with each other to form a community. Thus the reefs are also rich in biodiversity. Among the coral reef associates echinoderms are a conspicuous element on account of their size, abundance and effect on the reef ecosystem including the corals. In spite of their importance in the coral reef ecosystem and its conservation, very few studies were made on the echinoderm associates of the coral reefs. Though there were some studies elsewhere, the information on reef­ associated echinoderms of Indian coast is meager and scattered (see Anon, 1995). Hence an attempt is made here to collate the scattered accounts and unpublished information available with Zoological Survey of India. Since the information is from several originals and quoted references and many are to be cited often, these are avoided in the text and a comprehensive bibliography is appended which served as source material and also provides additional references of details and further information. ECHINODERMS OF CORAL REEFS More than 200 species of echinoderms occur in the reef ecosystem of Andaman and Nicobar Islands. These belong to five extant classes with 30 to 60 species of each class.

    Project Update: October 2017 Smith's giant gecko (Gekko smithii) from the Great Nicobar Island Acknowledgements: I thank the Andaman and Nicobar Environmental Team (ANET) for facilitating field work for this project for a duration of 6 months, Department of Environment and Forests, Andaman and Nicobar Islands for providing permission to carry out this study and collect tissues for molecular laboratory work (Permit No.: CWLW/WL/134(A)/517), Andaman and Nicobar Administration for providing permission to carryout field work in Tribal Reserve Areas and the Police Department, A&N Islands for providing logistical support in remote locations. Objectives: 1. To identify diversity in gecko species and populations distributed on the Andaman and Nicobar islands 2. To recognise factors governing patterns of genetic diversity across space (dispersal ability, barriers of dispersal, isolation-by-distance, human mediated dispersal). 3. To assess evolutionary relationships of the endemic and human commensal lineages of geckos from the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and deduce bio- geographical affinities of these Islands. 4. To prioritise islands and species for conservation.

Abstract: The study was conducted as an attempt to gather information on the diseases prevalent in rural population of Rangat, Middle Andaman Islands. The study was carried out as a hospital based retrospective study by going through the three years viz., 2013, 2014 and 2015 , hospital attendance records of the Community Health Centre Rangat and its five subcentres, Bakuntala, Nimbutala, Sabari, Dasarathpur and Kaushalya Nagar. The data of deaths for the years 2014 and 2015 was also collected from the death register. From the three years data, 28% of the cases were categorized as unclassified and constituted the largest proportion. Communicable and non-communicable diseases constituted almost equal proportions of cases (14%). Hypertensive heart disease was found to be the most common non-communicable diseases present in (47%) cases while among the infectious diseases, cases due to acute respiratory infection (ARI) were(45%) followed by skin infections (20%) and diarrhoeal diseases (14%). Total no. of deaths analysed in 137 adult deaths, 64 (43%) were due the non-communicable diseases, 35(24%) due to senility and 12 (8%) suicide. 25% of the deaths due to non communicable diseases were attributed to Chronic kidney (renal) diseases (CKD).
