 AN OVERVIEW OF PUDUCHERRY
***
Puducherry (PDY), formerly known as Pondicherry, is a Union Territory of
India. It was formed out of four enclaves of former French India, namely Puducherry,
Karaikal, Yanam and Mahe. It is named after the largest district Puducherry.
Pondicherry was transferred to the young Republic of India on 1st November 1954,
legally on 16 August 1962, when French India ceased to exist but became the present
Indian constituent state of Puducherry, still combining four coastal enclaves.

Historically known as Pondicherry, the territory changed its official name to

Puducherry in September 2006 which signifies new settlement or new town. Puducherry
lies in the southern part of the Indian Peninsular. The areas of Puducherry and
Karaikal are bound by the state of Tamilnadu, while Yanam and Mahe otherwise called
by the natives as Mayyazhi are enclaved by the states of Andhra Pradesh and Kerala
respectively. Puducherry and Mahe are themselves amalgamations of non-contiguous
enclaves, often called pockets in India. Puducherry region is made up of 11 such
pockets, some of which are very small and entirely surrounded by the Tamilnadu State.
Mahe region is made up of three pockets surrounded by Kerala State. All four regions
of Puducherry U.T. are located in the coastal region. Five rivers in Puducherry region,
seven in Karaikal, two in Mahe and one in Yanam drain into the sea, but none
originates within the territory.

Puducherry city, capital of the U.T. of Puducherry, has as interesting cross-

cultural history and its built form lends a unique identity to the city. The old part of
Pondicherry is known as the Boulevard Town since it is bounded by four boulevards
that constituted the outer limits of the city’s fortification. The Boulevard Town presents
two distinct architectural styles in the Tamil and French quarters, which are separated
by a canal and unified by a rectilinear grid plan. There are few monumental buildings
in Pondicherry and the architectural character of the town is the result of hundreds of
traditional-style houses (both in Tamil and French pattern) that form the unique
streetscapes so distinctive of Pondicherry. The old Boulevard Town of Puducherry
would be developed a “Heritage Zone” comprising of Tamil and French quarters. To
highlight the heritage aspects of the city, Stainless steel plaques (each with a brief
history of the site) were fixed on important heritage buildings. Old Pondicherry, like
many cities in France, had blue-white enamel street signboards. Over the years, most of
them have been replaced with either plastic or concrete. New enamel signboards have
been fixed, mostly along heritage walk-routes. The Government of Puducherry owns a
number of heritage buildings and has decided to restore some of these buildings to
encourage similar efforts in the city.
The four regions of the Union Territory have a coast line of 45 km. Fishermen, in
39 marine fishing villages and 11 inland fishing villages are actively engaged in fishing.
Along with NCT of Delhi, Puducherry is one of two union territories in India
that is entitled by special constitutional amendments to have an elected Legislative
Assembly. There are One Lok Sabha Constituency and 30 Legislative Assembly
Constituencies in the U.T. One Member of Parliament (Rajya Sabha) is representing the
U.T. of Puducherry. Three members are nominated for the Legislative Assembly. The
Centre is represented by the Lieutenant Governor, who resides at the Raj Nivas (Le
Palais du Governor) at the Park, the former palace of the French Governor.

According to the Treaty of Cession of 1956, the four territories of former French
India territorial administration are permitted to make laws with respect to specific
matters. In many cases, such legislation may require ratification from the federal
government or the assent of the President of India.

As per “The Pondicherry Official Language Act 1965” (Act No.3 of 1965)

Official Languages : Tamil, English

Telugu (Yanam region only)
Malayalam (Mahe region only)
Official song (since 1971) : Invocation to Goddess Tamil
(Vazhvinil semmaiyai seibaval neeyae.......)
The song was written by Poet
Bharathidasan. When his house at
Perumal koil street, Puducherry was
acquired in the year 1971 to form a
research centre, this song was made the
official “Thamizh Thaai Vaazhthu”.
On 16th April 2007, the Government of Puducherry announced the following as
State symbols.
Official symbols : Animal: Squirrel
Bird: Koel (Kuil)
Flower: Cannonball flower (Nagalingapoo)
Tree: Bael tree (Vilvam tree)
 The Union Territory of Puducherry is extending over an area of 490 Sq.Kms.

Logo of Puducherry Smart City, designed by the Puducherry Smart City Development
Limited (the special purpose vehicle formed by the territorial government under
Companies Act), bagged the first place under Innovative Logo for Smart City. The logo
was designed considering the Heritage and Cultural Values of Puducherry and

France. It depicts the statue of Mahatma Gandhi, six pillars representing the war
trophy of Gingee Fort, the first lighthouse on the eastern coast, the statue of Dupleix,
Pondicherry–the name given by French rulers, the Bay of Bengal and unique maritime
identity, high quality cotton fabric, the Aayi Mandapam, the grid patterned streets
planned by Danes and built by the French and the bicycle friendly city.
