INDIA ISLANDS AWARD

A N N I L A M I C I Award

In India,we have hundreds of islands in the coastal region,as well as in the deep sea. Indian Islands in the deep sea were activated by operators (both DX and VUs) many times since Indian Independence. All these Islands have IOTA listings. Some activities in the Coastal Island Groups have taken place too and their listings are also given.

In addition, we had 24 Indian Antarctic Expeditions too, to bases like Indian Bay Camp,Dakshin Gangothri, and Maithri in the 7th Continent. This year,(2007-09), the 25th IAE Team is in Maitri Base.

The name of the Award is derived from the first two alphabets of ANdaman, NIcobar, LAkshadweep, MInicoy and Coastal Islands, and it contains the two alphabets of Antarctica also.
