  • 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. Keywords: Chikungunya; Aedes albopictus; Lakshadweep Islands. Introduction Rajahmundry, Vishakpatnam and Kakinada in 1965.

Sivakumar & T.Thangaradjou* Centre of Advanced Study in Marine Biology, Faculty of Marine Sciences Annamalai University, Parangipettai - 608 502, Tamilnadu, India *[Email: [email protected]] Received 8 April 2010; revised 26 October 2010 Present study explains the diversity, distribution, biomass and productivity of seagrasses in the Lakshadweep group of Islands. Seven seagrass species under five genera were recorded from nine islands and no seagrass was found at Bitra island. Out of seven seagrass species, Cymodocea serrulata was found to be dominant in the Lakshadweep group of islands whereas Halophila decipiens was found only in Kalpeni island. Biomass varied widely from 72+9 to 944+99 gfr.wt.m-2 among all the species of seagrasses. Productivity also showed clear variation within the species and between the species at different stations. Productivity of the species varied from 2.76+0.17 mgCm-2day-1 to 95.53+10.06 mgCm-2day-1 and it was in the following order of increase: H. decipiens< H. pinifolia< H. uninervis< T. hemprichii< C. rotundata< S. isoetifolium < C. serrulata. The spatial cover of seagrasses in Lakshadweep Island is more and are healthy in almost all the islands.

  • 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.

  • 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.
