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.

  • NITI Aayog's Project for Great Nicobar Island
    NITI Aayog’s Project for Great Nicobar Island drishtiias.com/printpdf/niti-aayog-s-project-for-great-nicobar-island Why in News Recently, the Environment Appraisal Committee which flagged concerns over the project has now ‘recommended’ it ‘for grant of terms of reference’ for Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) studies. In August, 2020 the Prime Minister had declared that the Andaman and Nicobar islands will be developed as a "maritime and startup hub". Key Points About the Project: The proposal includes an international container trans-shipment terminal, a greenfield international airport, a power plant and a township complex spread over 166 sq. km. (mainly pristine coastal systems and tropical forests). It is estimated to cost Rs. 75,000 crore. 1/3 Issues with Project: Lack of details on seismic and tsunami hazards, freshwater requirement details, and details of the impact on the Giant Leatherback turtle. No details of the trees to be felled—a number that could run into millions since 130 sq. km. of the project area has some of the finest tropical forests in India. A number of additional issues include about Galathea Bay, the site of the port and the centrepiece of the NITI Aayog proposal. Galathea Bay is an iconic nesting site in India of the enigmatic Giant Leatherback, the world’s largest marine turtle—borne out by surveys done over three decades. Ecological surveys in the last few years have reported a number of new species, many restricted to just the Galathea region. These include the critically endangered Nicobar shrew, the Great Nicobar crake, the Nicobar frog, the Nicobar cat snake, a new skink (Lipinia sp), a new lizard (Dibamus sp,) and a snake of the Lycodon sp that is yet to be described.

Rajeshkumar* and C. Raghunathan Zoological Survey of India, Andaman and Nicobar Regional Centre, Port Blair-744 102, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India (Accepted December 12, 2014) ABSTRACT A comprehensive population study of Nicobar-crab eating macaque (Macaca fascicularis umbrosa Miller, 1902) was conducted during October 2011 to September 2013, in the Great Nicobar Island. It is estimated that 882 individuals in 29 troops with the group size varied from 18 to 46 individuals (mean ± SD = 30.41 ± 6.91). The abundance of monkey group per km is about 0.23 corresponding with 6.9 indi- viduals per km. The survival rate was high; it was estimated 0.99/individual/year with the mean growth rate of 1.55/individual/year. The mean group size of macaque at Great Nicobar Biosphere Reserve (GNBR) (mean ± SD = 28.92 ± 6.7) varied from macaque groups found in residential areas (mean ± SD = 31.62 ± 7). The population was increased during the period of study. The female-infant ratio was in- creased, while male ratio was slightly decreased in residential groups rather than groups observed in protected areas.
