It is the result of measures to optimise energy use and harness renewable sources over the years
Pondicherry Central University has saved about ₹1 crore in its annual energy bill by optimising its energy use and harnessing renewable sources.
The university, situated on a green campus spread over 780 acres on the East Coast Road, houses 15 Schools, 50 Departments and Centres, a Central Instrumentation Facility, a library, an administrative building, staff quarters and student hostels.

The draft policy for “Responsible Digital Use Among Students”, released on Monday by the Department of Health and Family Welfare, has recommended that parents set structured routines with clear screen-time rules and prioritise privacy, safety, and open conversation with children on digital well-being.
