History of Gazette
The Archives Administratives des Etalissements Francais dans I'Inde which appeared in the French establishments as early as 1823 may be taken as the oldest version of a Gazette in Pondicherry. Important laws, ordinances, rules, etc. were published in these issues. From January 1828 onwards they came to be published under the title of Bulletin des Actes Administratifs des Etablissements Francais dans I'Inde. From 1872 it started appearing as Bulletin Officiel des Etablissements Francais dans I'Inde. Since 1911 it appeared under the title of Journal Officiel des Etablissements Francais dand I'Inde as a weekly. Soon after de facto transfer of the territories, it started appearing as La Gazette de I'Etat de Pondichéry or the Gazette of Pondicherry. While before merger, it carried material in French and Tamil, after merger material in Tamil, English and French are published.
Presently the Gazette is published in Tamil and English.
