Executive summary
The government's effort to boost connectivity
1 • In 2020, Submarine Optical Fibre Cable (OFC), linking the Andaman and Nicobar Islands to the mainland, was
launched and dedicated to the country by Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi. As it is at a competitive distance from
many ports in the world, Andaman and Nicobar will be established as a hub of port-led growth.
Boost to maritime trade
2 • The establishment of a trans-shipment port on Great Nicobar Island would be important not only for India, but also
for Southeast Asia (both commercially and strategically), particularly in view of the Chinese forays into the region.
Development in tourism projects
3 • To attract investment and technological & management expertise from the private sector, four tourism-based
projects in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands were developed for implementation through the Public-Private
Partnership (PPP) mode.
Growth in agricultural sector
• Development projects have been launched in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands by the National Bank for Agriculture
4 and Rural Development (NABARD) to improve the Atmanirbhar Bharat concept through rural entrepreneurship. This
will concentrate on the creation and skills growth of self-help groups (SHGs) to facilitate micro-level rural
entrepreneurship.
Boost to Aatmanirbhar Bharat project
5
• In the Aatmanirbhar Bharat project, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands will play a key role.
• 12 Andaman and Nicobar Islands were chosen for high-impact projects with focus on improving the region's trade in
sea-based, organic and coconut-based products.
