No article is required.

The sentence talks about Queen Victoria introducing English education in India. When we refer to a specific historical figure or entity, we don't need to use an indefinite article ("a" or "an") or the definite article ("the") unless there is more than one of the same title. In this case, there was only one Queen Victoria, and we are referring to her in a specific historical context.

Use 'an' before words such as "hour" which sound like they start with a vowel even if the first letter is a consonant.

Before most proper nouns, like names of people, continents, countries, cities, etc, the use of an article is omitted. As 'Sicily' is the name of a city, (which is an island), no article precedes this word.
However, before certain proper names, especially names of places, the definite article 'the' is used. The word 'Andamans' is one such proper name which denotes the name of a place (a group of islands). Other examples are: 'the Himalayas', the Sahara', 'the West Indies', etc.
