Kms. from Vishakapatnam Airport.
Karaikal can be reached from Tiruchirapalli airport which is 75 kms from
Karaikal.
Mahe can be reached from Calicut Airport which is 70 Kms. from Mahe.
The total area of all the regions is around 492 Sq.Kms.

of roads, electricity and water supply.
Above all Pudhucherry has very informal work culture where all government
executives and even Ministers are easily approachable.

Pudhucherry a centre in India of the French language and a Window of the
French Culture which is a great culture of the western world ”
