'''Amini''' is a [[census town]] in the [[Union Territory]] of [[Lakshadweep]], [[India]]. It is also the name of the island where the town stands and of the [[atoll]] that contains that island.
It lies {{convert|407|km|abbr=on}} west of the city of [[Kochi]].

==History==
Amini Island was one of the first islands in the archipelago to be inhabited. The artisans on this island are known for making walking sticks out of [[coconut]] shells and [[tortoise]] shells as well as carved stone and [[coral]] motifs.

==Geography==
The channel between Amini Island and [[Cardamom Island]] is safe and deep, but depths of less than 10 meters project 0.5 mile south from the south tip of the reefs surrounding Cardamom Island. Amini Island Light is shown on the south point of the island.
Amini Island, the most important of the [[Amindivi Islands]], is [[oval]], with the long axis oriented northeast-southwest. It is 2.8 km long and up to 1.3 km wide, yielding a land area of {{convert|2.71|km2|abbr=on}}. It is fringed by a reef 0.3 to 0.6 km wide.

===Demographics===
Amini village is in the middle of the west coast of the Island. A raised stone platform jetty, with steps leading to the beach, is in front of the village. There is a post office and a hospital at the village.
The small village of Hujrapali is on the east coast.
As of the 2011 India [[census]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.censusindia.net/results/town.php?stad=A&state5=999|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040616075334/http://www.censusindia.net/results/town.php?stad=A&state5=999|archive-date=2004-06-16|title= Census of India 2001: Data from the 2001 Census, including cities, villages and towns (Provisional)|access-date=2008-11-01|publisher= Census Commission of India}}</ref> the island of Amini had a population of 7,657. Males constitute 50% of the population and females 50%. Amini has an average literacy rate of 71%, higher than the national average of 59.5%, with 55% of the males and 45% of females literate. 15% of the population is under 6 years of age.

==Pitti Bank==
Amini Island lies at the northeastern extremity of [[Pitti Bank]], 42 km from small, uninhabited [[Pitti|Pitti Island]] (not to be confused with Pitti Islet of [[Kalpeni]] Atoll), which is located at the opposite southwestern extremity of the bank. Pitti Bank, also oriented along a northeast-southwest axis, is 49 km long, in the northern part from 2 to 7 km wide and in the southern part up to 18 km wide. Pitti Bank may be considered a largely submerged and sunken atoll, with an estimated [[lagoon]] area of {{convert|415|km2|abbr=on}}, with just the two islands Amini and Pitti remaining at its opposite ends. [[Kadmat]] island, although just 5 km northeast of Amini Island, is separated from it by a deep channel and thus forms a separate geographical unit.

==Administration==
The bank belongs to the [[Subdivisions of India|township]] of [[Amini Island]] of [[Aminidivi]] [[Tehsils of India|Tehsil]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20110721163348/http://lakshadweep.gov.in/Area-Population.PDF Tehsils info]</ref>
