Andaman and Nicobar. These two groups of islands have been divided into three districts, namely South Andaman, North & Middle Andaman and Nicobar District. The Andaman and Nicobar consist of about 836 islands, including islets and rocks in the archipelago, out of which only 31 islands are inhabited. The basic details of the three districts are as follows: District Headquarters Population (2011) Area (km²) Density (/km²) Nicobar Car Nicobar 36,819 1,841 20 North and Middle Andaman Mayabunder 105,539 3,227 32 South Andaman Port Blair 237,586 3,181 80 On 1st August 1974, Nicobar district was separated from Andaman district. On 18th August 2006, Andaman district was again bifurcated into two districts: North and Middle Andaman district and South Andaman district. The UT has only one Parliamentary constituency with no assembly constituency. The Andaman and Nicobar islands are situated in one of the most geologically fragile region of the world which sees frequent seismic activities of varying magnitudes. Besides this, other natural hazards such as cyclones and heavy rains also pose challenge to already existing challenges of geographical and data connectivity.

The decennial growth rate recorded during 2011 Census was 6.86%. The population comprises mostly of people brought here during the British regime, families settled under various schemes of the government from time to time mostly from erstwhile East Pakistan, and a few families from other states and ex-servicemen settlers in Great Nicobar. Some persons have also emigrated here voluntarily, after Independence. The entire population has integrated in a cohesive manner with Hindi as the link language with little or no barriers of caste, creed or religion. There are also six Scheduled Tribes, namely the Great Andamanses, Onges, Jarawas, Sentineles, Nicobarese and Shompens. The first four are primitive (aboriginal) tribes of Negrito stock and are found only in the Andaman group of Islands out of which the Sentinelese do not have any contact with the outside world. There is a limited contact with the Onge and Jarawa tribes. The remaining two tribes viz, Nicobarese and Shompens reside in the Nicobar District and are of Mongoloid stock. There is one settlement of Nicobarese in Little Andaman under South Andaman District too, namely, Harminder Bay. The tribal population constitutes only 8.27% of the total population Particular Population Census (2011) Total population - 3,80,581 Male - 2,02,871 Female - 1,77,710 Rural Population - 2,37,093 Urban Population - 1,43,488 Schedules Tribe Population - 28,530 Male - 14, 731 Female - 13,799 Literate Population - 86.63% Languages spoken (mainly) - Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, Nicobarese, Tribal Languages etc. C-3) Terrain Geologically the islands appear to have been part of the land mass of South East Asia comprising North East India, Burma, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia. The dreaded 10o channel which is about 145 km wide and 400 fathoms deep, separates the two groups Andaman and Nicobar. The Andaman group comprises of islands such as North Andaman, Middle Andaman, South Andaman, Baratang, Little Andaman in the Andaman group and Nicobar district comprises of Car Nicobar, Great Nicobar, Little Nicobar islands. Situated in the Bay of Bengal, Andaman and Nicobar islands constitute one of the most strategically important union territories. The terrain in the Andaman group of islands is generally mountainous with long ranges of hills enclosing narrow valleys. The configuration of the land clearly points to these islands being the visible ridges and summits of sunken ranges of mountains; Saddle Peak in North Andaman at a height of 732 metres above sea level is the highest point in these islands. They are susceptible to heavy soil erosion. Flat lands are comparatively scarce. The villages in Betapur and Diglipur constitute the main flat lands in the Andaman group. The islands in the Nicobar group are surrounded by coral reef and shallow seas. Long narrow stretches of sandy beaches are a salient feature of the topography here. Car Nicobar and Katchal are almost flat while the others have hilly terrain. In Little Nicobar and Great Nicobar in the Nicobar group, the land surface is very irregular, cut up by steep hills and valleys. C-4) Socio Economic and Cultural peculiarities relevant for Election Management point of view Cultural activities: Andaman and Nicobar milieu shows a mix of the indigenous cultures of the Negroid and the Mongoloid settlers of the island, as well as a more mainstream culture brought down by the descendants of the early settlers in the island from the Indian mainland. The migrants also contributed to the culture of Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The greatest feature of Andaman and Nicobar Islands culture is the peaceful coexistence of these two strains of cultural lives. While, the settlers in the island from the Indian mainland and the Nicobarese have enormous presence in the electoral rolls, repeated and persistent efforts resulted in bringing about 29 Andamanese 54 Onges and 114 Shompens in the electoral rolls of 26-ANIPC. C-5) Connectivity: Inter-island connectivity mainly depends on roads as far as North & Middle Andaman is concerned. However, this journey involves a stretch of Tribal area where the transportation is monitored by way of convoy system and therefore, is not accessible at all times of the day and this zone is categorized as buffer zone of the Prevention of Aborigines Regulation. 1956 and Rules 1957. Secondly, the North & Middle Andaman is also connected by sea. The journey to the northern most Tehsil, Diglipur would take about 12- 14 hours from Port Blair. However, the connectivity to the Little Andaman islands under South Andaman district and Nicobar group of Islands is solely through sea. Needles to mention that sea journey are essentially dependent on weather prevailing at the time of journey. In case of adverse weather condition, the sailings are often cancelled until a favourable weather arrives. Moreover, in the recent past cyclone viz. GAJA and PABUK stroke this UT in November 2018 and January 2019. Although all the Tehsil headquarters are connected by air, movement of Polling Parties being massive, journey of Polling Personnel by air is almost impossible considering the time factor and the cost involved.

  • Assessment of Fresh Water Resources for Effective Crop Planning in South Andaman District
    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).
