In
his address, Dr. J.D. Singh congratulated the author and lauded him for coming

urged the citizens of our islands to preserve the history of our islands to
pass on the essence of life to coming generation.
Speaking
on the occasion, the author, Tara Singh Pabla, said, "This book is all
about the incredible last point of India, Great Nicobar. The ex-servicemen from
Punjab were the first to inhabit Great Nicobar Island on 23.4.1969. This paved
the way for people from other states to settle in Great Nicobar Island. Their
struggle and sacrifice in developing this island, braving the extreme weather
conditions and inadequate medical facilities brought Great Nicobar Island into
limelight. The dedication, struggle and sacrifice made by all Ex- servicemen of
Great Nicobar Island are beyond comparison which put the Island on the path of
progress. This encouraged me to write about induction of Ex-servicemen settlers
to Great Nicobar Island." Tara Singh Pabla has dedicated his book to all
young and elder and those who struggled and devoted their lives for the
development of Great Nicobar Island.
Andaman
events (Island's Entertainment & Marcom) and ATz Andaman Hospitality
(Destination Tourism) are the launch and marketing partners of the book
'History of Great Nicobar Island - The Ascent' written by Tara Singh Pabla.
