Andaman Science Association was publishing a journal called the Journal of the Andaman Science Association from 1985. It was also conducting national and international symposium at Port Blair. So far we have published 17 volumes with two issues during the period 1985 to 2000. Subsequently there was lull of activities as most of the active members were transferred to mainland. Subsequently the association was revived on 15th December 2012 and remaining volume 18 to 20 with two issues was published.
