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.

  • The Last Island of the Savages
    The Last Island of the Savages Journeying to the Andaman Islands to meet the most isolated tribe on Earth By Adam Goodheart | September 5, 2000 Ana Raquel S. Hernandes/Flickr The lumps of white coral shone round the dark mound like a chaplet of bleached skulls, and everything around was so quiet that when I stood still all sound and all movement in the world seemed to come to an end. It was a great peace, as if the earth had been one grave, and for a time I stood there thinking mostly of the living who, buried in remote places out of the knowledge of mankind, still are fated to share in its tragic or grotesque miseries. In its noble struggles too—who knows? The human heart is vast enough to contain all the world. It is valiant enough to bear the burden, but where is the courage that would cast it off? —Joseph Conrad, Lord Jim Shortly before midnight on August 2, 1981, a Panamanian-registered freighter called the Primrose, which was traveling in heavy seas between Bangladesh and Australia with a cargo of poultry feed, ran aground on a coral reef in the Bay of Bengal. As dawn broke the next morning, the captain was probably relieved to see dry land just a few hundred yards from the Primrose’s resting place: a low-lying island, several miles across, with a narrow beach of clean white sand giving way to dense jungle. If he consulted his charts, he realized that this was North Sentinel Island, a western outlier in the Andaman archipelago, which belongs to India and stretches in a ragged line between Burma and Sumatra.

Andaman and Nicobar Tribal Research and Training Institute (ANTRI), Haddo – 744 102, Port Blair, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India Received: 08 July 2018; Revised: 11 September 2018; Accepted: 25 October 2018 Heritage: Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies in Archaeology 6 (2018): 1013‐1038 Abstract: Sky is open for all to observe and it has fascinated humans from the time they first realised its existence. Humans have seen various objects in the patterns that the stars make. Most of the commonly held division of the sky has its roots in Babylonia about 3000 years before the Common Era. However, isolated tribal groups have not been a part of this narrative and they have interpreted the sky in different manner. Elsewhere (Vahia and Halkare 2017 and references therein) we have reported studies of the astronomy of various inland tribes in central India. Here we report the astronomical perspective of the tribes of the Nicobar Island. Isolated from the mainstream they have developed their own story about the astronomy and cosmogony of human race and the nature of Sun, Moon and stars. However, we find surprising lack of interest in using astronomy for navigational purposes.

  • The Invisible Tribal Tourism in Andaman & Nicobar Islands
    Perspectives on Business Management & Economics Volume II • September 2020 ISBN: 978-81-947738-1-8 THE INVISIBLE TRIBAL TOURISM IN ANDAMAN & NICOBAR ISLANDS MOUSIME XALXO Assistant Professor, Indian Academy Degree College, Bengaluru ORCID ID: 0000-0002-7034-7646 ABSTRACT The Andaman Islands consist of 527 islands that lie in the Andaman Sea and Bay of Bengal. A total land area of 8249 sq. kms forms this beautiful union territory. The island can sustain these tribes and carry them as one of the major attractions in tourism. Tribal tourism is one of the major sources of income and attraction for tourists. Tourism and agriculture are the primary sources of income on the island. The original population of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands consists of aboriginal indigenous people that are tribal. They dwell in the forest and remain isolated for thousands of years. Tribal tourism connects to tribal culture, values, traditions, tourism products owned and operated by the tribal people. But the tribal population of the islands is not aware of the opportunity and challenges faced by them. Tribes lack in all the facilities provided by the Government because they don’t like to surround or interact with the population and are indirectly is the source and contribution to tourism. The finding of the paper states that education is the key to tribal development. Tribal children have very low levels of participation in social-cultural activities. Though the development of the tribes is taking place in India, the pace of development has been rather slow. If govt. will not take some drastic steps for the development of tribal education KEYWORDS: Tribal tourism, sustainable tourism, challenges and opportunities JEL CLASSIFICATION: D00, E00, E71 CITE THIS ARTICLE: Xalxo, Mousime.

  • Protecting the Sentinelese
    Protecting the Sentinelese drishtiias.com/printpdf/protecting-the-sentinelese Why in News Recently, the Anthropological Survey of India (ANSI) policy document warned of threat to the Sentinelese from commercial activity. The policy document comes almost two years after American national John Allen Chau was allegedly killed by the Sentinelese on the North Sentinel Island. Key Points 1/3 ANSI Guidelines: Any exploitation of the North Sentinel Island of the Andamans for commercial and strategic gain would be dangerous for its occupants, the Sentinelese. The Right of the people to the island is non-negotiable, unassailable and uninfringeable. The prime duty of the state is to protect these rights as eternal and sacrosanct. Their island should not be eyed for any commercial or strategic gain. The document also calls for building a knowledge bank on the Sentinelese. Since ‘on-the-spot study’ is not possible for the tribal community, anthropologists suggest the ‘study of a culture from distance’. About the Sentinelese: The Sentinelese are a pre-neolithic, negrito tribe who live in North Sentinel Island of the Andamans. They are completely isolated with no contact to the outside world. The first time they were contacted by a team of Indian anthropologists in 1991. Due to no contact, the census of Sentinelese is taken through photographing the island individuals from distance. It has a population of about 50 to 100 on the North Sentinel Island. Surveys of North Sentinel Island have not found any evidence of agriculture. Instead, the community seems to be hunter-gatherers, getting food through fishing, hunting, and collecting wild plants living on the island.

  • Herbal Medicine & Healthcare Practices
    [Downloaded free from http://www.ijmr.org.in on Tuesday, July 07, 2015, IP: 164.100.31.82] Indian J Med Res 141, May 2015, pp 720-744 Herbal medicine & healthcare practices among Nicobarese of Nancowry group of Islands - an indigenous tribe of Andaman & Nicobar Islands M. Punnam Chander, C. Kartick & P. Vijayachari Regional Medical Research Centre (ICMR), Port Blair, India Received March 28, 2014 Background & objectives: Tribal people often depend on herbal medicines and the traditional knowledge practitioners (TKPs) serve as their healthcare service providers. This study was an attempt to document the use of medicinal plants by the Nicobarese of Nancowry group of Islands. Methods: Field survey was conducted in all the five inhabited Islands of the Nancowry group of Islands. All the TKPs were interviewed with a questionnaire-guided ethnomedicinal survey protocol. Voucher specimens of all the cited plants (botanic species) were collected and a Community Biodiversity Register of Nicobarese of Nancowry was prepared. Results: A total of 77 TKPs were identified, who together were using 132 medicinal plant species belonging to 113 genera and 62 families. The TKPs were treating a total of 43 ailments. Seven endemic and three rare plant species were recorded. The most common plant part used was leaves. Remedies were usually prepared using water as the excipient. Routes for administration of medicinal plant preparations were oral, topical and others. The information collected from the TKPs were collated in the form of Community Biodiversity Registers. Interpretation & conclusions: The present survey shows that the medicinal plants play a pivotal role in the healthcare of the Nicobarese tribe of Nancowry group of Islands.
