 About  Dr. Abdul Kalam Science Centre and Planetarium      What's New


The Union Territory of Puducherry (more famously known as Pondicherry or just ‘Pondy’) is a place that is blessed with a little bit of everything. From a piece of “God’s own country” to an enclave set in warm tamil heartland to a cozy corner in Andhra Pradesh to a town that still has a generous whiff of its glorious French past, Puducherry has everything. This bustling Minneapolis of more than 12 lakhs people has a distinct habit of welcoming all, and the proof of this is in the increasing number of tourists every year.  Neat, pleasant and charming, Puducherry has a beautiful beach and a sea that is always warm and refreshing. It has been made world-famous by the Aurobindo Ashram and its offshoot, Auroville. And in what still remains of its French connection, there is a uniqueness that makes it different from the rest of India.
