NEW DELHI: A recent government report has given startling facts about
Andamans Onge tribe.
.
There is growing obesity and hypertension in this Particularly Vulnerable
Tribal Group as the government provides them everything for free.
.
A recent report of National Commission for Scheduled Tribes reveals this
indigenous Andamanese tribal group is turning obese as there is very
little physical activity.
.
There are a total of 117 persons in Onge tribe in the entire Andamans, and
settled in Dugong Creek. After a field trip to Andaman and Nicobar Islands
in May-June, NCST secretary Anil Kumar Agarwal has submitted a report
observing that the traditionally seminomadic hunter and gatherer tribe
needs more physical activity. It was noticed that some of the tribal
persons were having problem of obesity.
.
The ANM (auxiliary nurse midwife) informed that they were also having
problem of hypertension. It emerged that since everything is being
provided to them free, they are not engaged in any physical activity, the
report said. NCST secretary advised the administration to take steps so
that both children as well as elders undertake some physical activities.
The NCST team was informed that there was a proposal to construct a
playground for playing football.
.
This would be a welcome step. The elders should be involved in some
economic activity so that they have some physical activity and livelihood
support. The NCST secretary advised that the administration may take
necessary steps in this regard, the report says.
