Andamans Govt sets sights on

underwater Guinness World Records

Port Bair, June 16

The Tourism Department of the

Andaman and Nicobar Islands is

gearing up to take a shot at the

underwater Guinness World Records

in a bid to showcase the archipelago

as a top diving destination, officials

said.

Lt Governor Admiral (Retired)

D K Joshi has initiated discussions

with officials concerned and other

stakeholders to materialise the plan,

they said.

"This place is surrounded with

beautiful beaches, tropical rainforest

and mountains and I think it's a

perfect destination to trigger the

adrenaline rush," said Vishwendra,

Secretary, Directorate of Information,

Publicity and Tourism Office (IP&T),

Port Blair.

"The objective of this exercise is

to put Andaman and Nicobar Islands

on the global diving destination list

and promote tourism. In addition to

the waterfront and beach activities,

endeavour will be made to popularise

the diving terrain and highlight the

unparalleled opportunities for diving

and adventure tourism in this Indian

Ocean rim," he said.

The IP&T is studying all the

previous Guinness World Records in

this domain to finalise the categories

before applying, the official said.

The applicant will be the local

administration, which will be

supported by the Andaman Nicobar

Command, Andaman Chamber of

Commerce, certifying agencies like the

Professional Association of Diving

Instructors (PADI), Scuba Schools

International (SSI) and National

Institute of Watersports (NIWS), among

others, he said.

The entire exercise will be monitored

by Air Marshal Saju Balakrishnan,

Commander-In-Chief, Andaman and Nicobar

Command (CINCAN).

"We have one of the best scuba

destinations in the world… I would like to

request adventure enthusiasts and those who

believe in living life on the edge to please

make a visit to the Andaman and Nicobar

Islands to dive deeper and deeper,"

Vishwendra added.

World Day to Combat Desertification & Drought

Port Blair, June 16

World Day to Combat

Desertification and Drought is

observed on June 17. It reminds us

the pressing need to address the

critical environment challenges

facing our planet. Desertification

and drought threaten ecosystems,

livelihoods, and food security,

particularly in vulnerable areas.

This day serves as a call to action

for governments, communities and

individuals to come together and

implement sustainable solutions to

combat desertification and drought.

By investing in land restoration,

promoting responsible land

management practices, and

supporting resilient communities,

we can mitigate the effects of these

environmental crises and safeguard

our planet for present and future

generations. Let us use this occasion

to renew our commitment to

protecting our precious natural

resources and building a more

sustainable and resilient Islands

and world for all.

Some facts on the occasion of

World Day to Combat

Desertification and Drought

 Land is degrading due to

desertification, posing a significant

threat to food security and

livelihoods.

 Desertification and land

degradation costs the global

economy due to loss of

productivity.

 By 2030, it is projected that nearly half of

the world's population will be living in areas

highly vulnerable to water stress and scarcity.

 Sustainable land management practices,

such as agro forestry and soil conservation,

have the potential to increase crop yields by

up to 60 %, helping to alleviate food insecurity

in drought-prone regions.

 Restoring just 12% of degraded agricultural

land worldwide could help feed an additional

200 million people.

 Climate change is exacerbating

desertification and drought by altering

rainfall patterns, increasing temperatures, and

intensifying extreme weather events,

highlighting the urgent need for global

action.

These facts underscore the importance of

addressing desertification and drought

through sustainable land management

practices and collective efforts to mitigate

climate change.

Suicide prevention is a collection of efforts to reduce the risk of

suicide, strengthening health care services, building community support,

stigma alleviation and developing measures for early detection of high

risk and timely referral. Preventing suicide requires collective efforts

and inclusive strategies across all sectors.

This initiative by A&N Administration with technical support of

ANIIMS under NHM will not only develop an intervention model for

the A&N Islands that will educate parents, teachers and students to

timely identify the warning signs of poor/deteriorating mental health

but will also promote help seeking, healthy habits along with building

resilience, and is a marker of a sense of deep commitment to social change,
