PREFACE For any planned fishery development programme, it is essential to know the living resources under the jurisdiction of the maritime nation, the number of fishermen engaged in fishing activities, the number of people engaged in ancillary industries, the number of craft and various fishing gears being utilized for harvesting the fish stocks, the number of fishing craft that can commercially exploit the stocks in a sustainable manner etc. For this purpose, the Government of India felt it necessary to conduct the Marine Fisheries Census of the entire coastal belt of the nation. Accordingly, during the 10th Plan period, the Department of Animal Husbandry, Dairying and Fisheries, Ministry of Agriculture envisaged a Centrally Sponsored Scheme on “Strengthening of Database and Information Networking in Fisheries Sector” under which the Marine Fisheries Census was programmed. The work in this regard concerning the coastal belt of the mainland was assigned to the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI), Kochi and the same concerning the Island Groups of Lakshadweep and Andaman & Nicobar was assigned to the Fishery Survey of India (FSI), Mumbai. Though the Census for the Island Groups was programmed along with the mainland Census by the CMFRI, during April-May, 2005, the same was delayed due to the devastating impact of the Tsunami that struck Andaman and Nicobar Islands on 26th December, 2004, resulting in heavy loss of life and property, especially fishing implements (craft and gear). Therefore the programme was rescheduled for Nov-Dec, 2005. As the CMFRI had the expertise in conducting the Marine Fisheries Census earlier, necessary training for the Supervisory staff of the FSI was provided by the CMFRI along with the requisite software for data entry and validation. In order to accomplish this task, two groups of Scientific and Technical Staff of the FSI were deputed to the two Island Groups under the leadership of two Coordinators, namely Dr. A. K. Bhargava, Senior Fisheries Scientist to Andaman & Nicobar Islands and Shri N. V. Ramana Murthy, System Analyst to Lakshadweep Islands. In Lakshadweep Islands, where the FSI does not have a Base Office, the coordinator in consultation with Shri Parimal Rai, IAS, Administrator of the UT of Lakshadweep, Dr. M. S. Sayad Ismail Koya, Director of Fisheries, Shri Sayad Shaikh Koya, Secretary, Administration of UT of Lakshadweep and Shri Muthu Koya, Asst. Director of Fisheries, Kavaratti, conducted the Census during the period from 12-11- 2005 to 23-11-2005 by deploying Scientific and Technical Staff from the FSI Headquarters, Kochi, Visakhapatnam and Mormugao Bases of FSI and the staff from the Directorate of Fisheries and the Dept. of Science and Technology, UT of Lakshadweep Islands. Both the local Administration and the Directorate of Fisheries had given excellent and timely support for the successful completion of the Census. In Andaman & Nicobar Islands, the coordinator in consultation with the Head of the Port Blair Base of FSI, Dr. P. Paul Pandian, Senior Fisheries Scientist, Dr. V. Krishnamurthy, Director of Fisheries and Shri T. E. Venkatachalam, Dy. Chief Engineer (Mechanical), Andaman, Lakshadweep Harbour Works, conducted the Census during the period from 20-11-2005 to 11-12-2005 by deploying Scientific and Technical Staff from the FSI Headquarters, Visakhapatnam and Chennai Bases of FSI and the staff from the Directorate of Fisheries, UT of Andaman & Nicobar Islands. In view of the remote location of these Islands, there were a lot of difficulties for travelling between Islands as well as in conducting the Census because the local people were affected due to the Tsunami. The programme personnel in the field had to face further difficulties for want of conveyance, communication and accommodation facilities in the Islands, notwithstanding the best possible support given by the local administration. Around 18 officials from the FSI and 15 officials from the local Administration of both the Island Groups had worked as Supervisors and 117 Enumerators were recruited locally for the Census. The information collected in the census is presented in the form of report followed by summarised data in two parts; the first part pertaining to Island-wise information and the second part providing the village-wise information. MUMBAI DR. V. S. SOMVANSHI DIRECTOR GENERAL JULY 24, 2006 FISHERY SURVEY OF INDIA REPORT National Marine Fisheries Census 2005 in Island groups Executive summary During the last two decades, the marine fisheries in India have undergone rapid mechanization and expansion of fishing fleet. The Government of India and the maritime States / Union Territories have also introduced various schemes for development of marine fisheries and fishermen welfare. Therefore, for formulating policies for development, management and conservation for sustainable fishery, it is essential to have reliable information on the status of marine fishery along with number of fishing villages, landing centres, fishermen population, their occupation status, fishing craft and gear and other related aspects. The last census in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands was done by the Andaman and Nicobar Administration in the year 1990. Since the last census, the marine fisheries in the Union Territory have witnessed quantitative and qualitative changes. Recognizing the need of having real time and reliable database on various aspects of marine fisheries, the Department of Animal Husbandry, Dairying and Fisheries, Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India, during the X Five Year Plan envisaged a programme on strengthening of database and information networking for fishery sector. The Ministry entrusted the census of Andaman & Nicobar and Lakshadweep groups of Islands to the Fishery Survey of India. Information on all the marine fishing villages was obtained from the Andaman & Nicobar and Lakshadweep Administrations for the coverage. After identification of census parameters such as the population size, education, religion, occupation, number of craft, number of gear etc., the necessary schedules were designed to collect information and these were approved by the Technical Monitoring Committee set up by Department of Animal Husbandry, Dairying and Fisheries, Ministry of Agriculture. Schedule I (in vernacular and in English) to collect household information on identified parameters and Schedule II to record Island / village-wise information on infrastructure and other details and posters and handouts (both in vernacular) were also printed. Since the post-Tsunami relief operations and resettlement of fishermen were still in progress

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.
