This isolated group of small islands, 36 in number, of which only 10 are inhabited. They are Minicoy, Andrott, Kavaratti, Kadmat, Agatti, Amini, Kalpeni, Kiltan, Chetlat and Bitra. The uninhabited islands consists Bangaram, Tinnakara and Suheli. Kalpity, Parali 1 & 2.

The inter island distance varies from about 10 to 200 kilometers. Though the land area of this Coral paradise is only 32 square kilometers the inclusion of about 4200 square kilometers of its lagoon area 20,000 square kilometers of its territorial waters and almost 4,00,000 square kilometers.

Exclusive Economic Zone makes it one of the largest territories of the country. The
lagoons and the economic zone teeming with marine life and mineral resources enhance the economic importance of Lakshadweep. Because of the economic and social backwardness and the remoteness of these islands from the mainland, the entire indigenous population is classified as Scheduled Tribe.

The character of these islands has decided the main occupations of the people, which are Coconut farming and Fishing. The pristine beauty of the white beaches and the clear lagoons as well as the colorful underwater life has a great potential for a thriving tourism industry.

The annual production of Coconut is around 53 million nuts. These are converted into copra and marketed in the mainland.  Efforts have also to be made to improve productivity of coconuts by introducing scientific farming methods. Value addition to other coconut-based products like coir, coir fibre, desiccated coconut powder units can be achieved by modernization of these units.

Establishing more co-operative industrial societies, organizing entrepreneurship development training programmes and promotion of self-employment programmes can ensure people's participation. All these have been the thrust areas in the 10th Five Year Plan (2002-2007), approved by National Development Council.
