Over the last decade, the growth of telecom infrastructure has become closely linked with the economic development of a country, especially the development of rural and remote areas. The challenge for developing countries is to ensure that telecommunication services, and the resulting benefits of economic, social and cultural development which these services promote, are extended effectively and efficiently throughout the rural and remote areas - those areas which in the past have often been disadvantaged, with few or no telecommunication services. 1.2. The Role of telecommunication connectivity is vital for delivery of e- Governance services at the doorstep of citizens, promotion of tourism in an area, educational development in terms of tele-education, in health care in terms of telemedicine facilities. In respect of safety and security too telecommunication connectivity plays a vital role.

    CHAPTER-I INTRODUCTION Andaman and Nicobar Islands is situated in the Bay of Bengal. The Nicobar archipelago in the Bay of Bengal as well as a part of it in the Indian Ocean is the abode of the Nicobarese a scheduled tribe of India.It is separated by the turbulent ten degree channel from the Andamans and spread over 300 kilometres.The Archipelago comprises nineteen islands namely Car Nicobar, Batti Malv, Chowra, Tillangchong, Teressa, Bompoka, Kamorta, Trinkat, Nancowry, Kachal, Meroe, Trak, Treis, Menchal, Pulo Milo, Little Nicobar, Cobra, Kondul, And Great Nicobar. These geographical names, given by the foreigners, are not used by the indigenous people of the islands. The native names of the islands as well as their dimensions are set out in descending order from north to south. Of the nineteen islands only twelve are inhabited while seven remain uninhabited. The inhabitants of these twelve, Teressa, Bompoka, Nancowry, Kamorta, Trinkat and Kachal, Great Nicobar, Little islands are divided into five groups again, depending on language differentiation among the Nicobarese living in different islands. Accordingly, the groups are located in Car Nicobar, Chowra Nicobar, Pulo Milo and Kondul Islands. Broadly the Nicobars can be divided into three groups: 1. Car Nicobar: The Island of Car Nicobar popularly known as Carnic, the headquarters of the Nicobar Islands, is a flat piece of land with an area of 24 sq.kms. It has an airfield which receives a Boeing 737 every Monday from Calcutta, via, Port Blair. In fact, this is the only airlink with the rest of the world. 2.

E-mail: [email protected]. Received 5 November 2018; revised 13 September 2019; accepted 25 November 2019 Abstract. Trinket cattle are the inhabitant of a small island called Trinket, which is one of the picturesque islands of Andaman. This herd is thought to be of Danish leftover during their dynasty in Nicobar archipelago. When the island was abandoned by foreign invaders, indigenes utilized the animals for the purpose of meat. As a result, the cattle became semi-feral in nature. After the Great Sumatra earthquake and tsunami of Indian Ocean in 2004, Trinket island was left abandoned by indigenes and the cattle became totally feral in nature. To trace the genetic root of the cattle, this study has been undertaken based on the sequence information of the mitochondrial D-loop and cytochrome b gene. The genomic DNA was extracted from the blood samples of the Trinket cattle and was used for amplification of mitochondrial markers, and the sequence information was generated by Sanger sequencing.
