Great Nicobar Island (GNI) is the southern most island in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and vastly effected by Tsunami. This island is 100 miles away from the northern tip of Sumatra . The killer waves had severely destroyed the coastal settlements of tribals and non tribals, road, schools, Light house (Known as Indira Point ), government buildings and other service centres
There is a need for resettlement at new sites due to several areas being submerged under water. There are a severe dearth of drinking water, clothing, electricity, food and even education until they are able to sustain their livelihood.
