PondicherryPuducherry: Spreading ICT through the French Colonial Heritage

The Union Territory of Puducherry is a unique place and it is a blend of spiritual aura, French colonial heritage,Tamil culture and the cosmopolitan flair of many nationalities in a small but varied town.The inherent ambiance of "Pondy", as it is fondly called, becomes most evident in the oldest part of the town which flanks the seashore Boulevard. Puducherry has Colonial buildings, some of which trace back to the 18th century, lined along a grid of straight clean streets and house the French institutions, private homes and businesses.
