  • 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).
