The Union Territory of Lakshadweep (08 00'N and 12 30'N latitudes and 71 00'E and 74 00'E longitudes), consisting of eleven inhabited and 25 uninhabited islands, is scattered in the Arabian Sea at about 200- 400 km from the Malabar Coast. Coconut and fish form the mainstay of the economy of the islanders. The islands became a Union Territory of India in 1956 and it was named Lakshadweep in 1973. Since then there has been rapid progress especially in the fields of agriculture, fisheries, education, health etc. Next in importance to agriculture, the fisheries sector plays an important role in the economy of the islands.
