A detailed examination of the subject by the Committee revealed poor management of implementation and execution of Projects, delays in finalisation of DPR resulting in dropping of projects, unfruitful expenditure on uninitiated projects, irresponsible procurement of outlived vessel without undertaking any techno economic feasibility resulting in wasteful expenditure in manning the vessel which had to be disposed off ultimately, wasteful expenditure towards development of yacht marina and procurement of luxury boats, non-issue of work order resulting in abandonment of work, violation of financial rules and norms in releasing advance fund for implementation of projects, need for introducing a holistic script for the sound and light show at the Cellular Jail etc. The Committee had accordingly given the Observations/Recommendations in their One.Hundred and Fifth Report. 4. .The Action Taken Notes furnished by the Ministry of Home Affairs in respect of all the Observations and Recommendations of the Committee have been reproduced in the relevant Chapters of this Report. The Committee will now deal with the Action Taken by the Government on the Observations and Recommendations made in the Original Report which either need reiteration or merit comments. (Recommendation Para No. 2) 5. The Committee noted that the Tourism Department had engaged fn May, 2009. Indian Tourism Development Corporation Ltd. (ITDC) as consultant for preparing Detailed Project Report (DPR) for development of the tourist circuit, 'Port Blair Neil Havelock Baratang' "Project/Infrastructure Development for Destinations and Circuits (PIDDC) under the scheme of Ministry of Tourism". The Ministry of Tourism sanctioned the work of preparation of Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) report in October, 2010. The Department of Tourism, ANI awarded the work of preparaton of EIA study/ CRZ clearance to the NIOT in December 2011. The work of development of tourist facilities at Baratang was, however, excluded, citing various environment and tribal issues. The NIOT submitted the draft EIA reports for Port Blair, Havelock and Neil Islands on 27 Deceniber, 2012, 31 May 2013 and 20 November 2013 respectively and requested A&NI Administration for site-wise details such as project layout, technical justification, technical design, etc., for inclusion in their final report. However, even after three years, the Administration had not provided the requisite information. As a result, the project was not approved by the Ministry of Tourism, but they had tentatively allocated an amount of '5.00 crore .under the PIDDC scheme in 2014-15. Thus, lack of follow up by ANI Administration rendered unfruitful expenditure of '18.45 lakh on the preparation of Detailed Project Report (DPR) and EIA reports. The Committee, therefore, desired to be appris~d of the reasons behind the delay of three years in providing the requisite details"for inclusion in the final DPR and recommended that stringent disciplinary penalty may be imposed against officials who were responsible for the delay. The Committee also desired to be apprised of the present status of the project. 6. The Ministry of Home Affairs in their Action Taken Note have stated as .under:- "As intimated by A& NI Administration, the Tourism Department had entered into an Agreement on 25th May, 2009 with India Tourism Development Corporation (ITDC) as a Consultant for preparation of Detailed Project Report (DPR) for development of tourist circuits, 'Port Blair-Neil-Havelock-Baratang' at a total cost of '10.00 lakh plus taxes. The ITDC submitted a DPR in November, 2009 and '11.83 lakh was paid to ITDC. The DPR proposed for development of sites at Port Blair (ITF Ground, Carbyn's Cove), Baratang (Baludera beach, Middle Strait jetty, Limestone Caves & Jirkatang), Neil Island (Neil Kendra, Sitapur Beach, Laxmanpur Beach & Bharatpur Beach), Havelock ·beach(Radhanagar beach and Elephant beach).The facilities proposed to be developed included water harvesting, public conveniences, Kiosks for tourist facilitation, interpretation centers, souvenir kiosks,

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 Andaman Islands Penal Colony: Race, Class, Criminality, and the British Empire*

The Andaman Islands Penal Colony: Race, Class, Criminality, and the British Empire* C LARE A NDERSON School of History, Politics and International Relations University of Leicester University Road, Leicester LE1 7RH, UK E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: This article explores the British Empire’s configuration of imprisonment and transportation in the Andaman Islands penal colony. It shows that British governance in the Islands produced new modes of carcerality and coerced migration in which the relocation of convicts, prisoners, and criminal tribes underpinned imperial attempts at political dominance and economic development. The article focuses on the penal transportation of Eurasian convicts, the employment of free Eurasians and Anglo-Indians as convict overseers and administrators, the migration of “volunteer” Indian prisoners from the mainland, the free settlement of Anglo-Indians, and the forced resettlement of the Bhantu “criminal tribe”.It examines the issue from the periphery of British India, thus showing that class, race, and criminality combined to produce penal and social outcomes that were different from those of the imperial mainland. These were related to ideologies of imperial governmentality, including social discipline and penal practice, and the exigencies of political economy. INTRODUCTION Between 1858 and 1939, the British government of India transported around 83,000 Indian and Burmese convicts to the penal colony of the Andamans, an island archipelago situated in the Bay of Bengal (Figure 1).

  • From Penal Settlement to Capital Town: Human Ecological Aspect of the Rise and Growth of Port Blair
    FROM PENAL SETTLEMENT TO CAPITAL TOWN: HUMAN ECOLOGICAL ASPECT OF THE RISE AND GROWTH OF PORT BLAIR KAILASH From Penal Settlement to capital town, unabated population pressure in Port Blair and its vicinity has affected the island's ecology and environment. However, a unique human ecology is progressing along with several environmental intricacies like potable water scarcity, insanitation and marine pollution. This study attempts to review the process of urbanisation in the Andamans on the one hand and the factors in human ecology of the capital town on the other. Dr. Kailash is a Lecturer, Unit for Urban Studies, Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Deonar, Bombay. From the beginning of social existence on earth, man has abused the physical environment — whether it was the establishment of settlements or beginning of agricultural practices, mining and manufacturing industries or construction of dams, reservoirs, roads and large buildings and so on, it all happened against the established norms of ecosystem. In the Andamans, some of these activities took place since the beginning of the Penal Settlement in 1858 when there was large- scale depletion of forest land for the expansion of the settlement. This practice still continues over large areas in different islands. The growing population pressure from the Indian mainland is damaging the physical environment. The gradual expansion of urban phenomena from one island to another is taking place simul­ taneously. Thus, a unique cultural set up has evolved in the capital, Port Blair. The human adaptation and the controls over the adverse ecological conditions remained the focus of the study made by Lal 1962; Sen 1954,1957,1959 and 1962; and Sinha 1952.

  • Chapter 1 Introduction and History of Mapping and Research
    Downloaded from http://mem.lyellcollection.org/ by guest on September 27, 2021 Chapter 1 Introduction and history of mapping and research P. C. BANDOPADHYAY Department of Geology, University of Calcutta, 35 Ballygunge Circular Road, Kolkata-19, India [email protected] Abstract: This chapter examines the history of reconnaissance and geological mapping work on the Andaman and Nicobar islands. To understand early exploration it is necessary to review the driving forces for colonization, including the development of the Andaman Islands as a penal colony for political prisoners. Geological mapping conducted in the colonial era continued after India gained independence in 1947 and expanded in the 1980s to include hydrocarbon and mineral resources. More recent work has placed greater emphasis on supporting field observation data with geochronological, geochemical and petrological analyses.

  • My Voyages Through the Andaman Sea and Gulf of Thailand
    My Voyages through the Andaman Sea and Gulf of Thailand By Geoff Walker The Andaman Sea is renowned for its stunning sunsets, beauty, and recently permitted eco-tourism. The Andaman and Nicobar Group consist of a group of about 570 islands that run virtually north and south, of which 38 are inhabited, situated at the juncture of the Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea. This chain of islands serves as the boundary between the Bay of Bengal to the west, and the Andaman Sea to the east. The territory is about 93 miles north of Aceh, the northern tip of Sumatra, in Indonesia and separated from Thailand and Myanmar by the exotic Andaman Sea. Most of the islands are part of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, politically administered by India, the archipelago Islands became part of India in 1950 and was declared as a union territory of the nation in 1956 and is now known as the Union Territory of India. The Andaman and Nicobar Islands (which form the southern section of the archipelago) are separated by a broad channel, known as the Ten Degree Channel. The waters and Islands of the Andaman and Nicobar group are pristine and a tourist’s paradise in every stretch of the imagination and must surely, be classified as a boutique destination for any visitor. The Andaman Sea, particularly the western coast of the Malay and Thailand Peninsula, and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands of India and Myanmar are rich in coral reefs and offshore islands with spectacular topography. The climate is typical of tropical islands of similar latitude.

  • Andaman Islands: 1793 – 1945
    Andaman Islands: 1793 – 1945 Clare Anderson Lying on important East India Company trading routes in the Bay of Bengal, the British first colonized the Andamans in 1793, when they transported three hundred convicts from Bengal to establish a settlement on the Islands. After outbreaks of disease devastated the settlement, in 1796 the British abandoned the Islands, and sent the survivors to the neighbouring penal settlement of Prince of Wales Island (Penang). Due to their strategic position, the British remained interested in the Andamans, however, and after a series of Islander attacks on shipwrecked vessels and prospectors in the 1840s, they began to make plans to re-colonize. The catalyst was the Great Indian Revolt of 1857, when rebels destroyed dozens of jails, and the penal settlements in Burma and the Straits refused to take mutineer and rebel convicts. The British transported the first challan (gang) of 200 convicts to the Andamans in March 1858, and this laid the foundation for the establishment of the penal colony. Penal transportation continued into the 1930s, with a total of about 80,000 convicted criminals and 1,000 political prisoners sent. They included convicts transported for serious offences like murder and armed robbery; as well as groups of Wahabis, the exiled Manipuri royal family, Mapilah rebels from Kerala, and a few hundred well-known nationalists. Over 90% of the convicts were men, including a substantial minority of people convicted in Burma. The penal colony was still operational in 1942, when the Japanese invaded and then occupied the Islands during the Second World War. Though they liberated all the convicts then in the Islands, it was only with the British reoccupation in 1945 that the penal colony was formally abolished, shortly before the Islands became a Union Territory of the newly independent Republic of India.
