Home > News
The French Institute of Pondicherry associated itself to the Indian Institute of Technology in Chennai (IIT Madras), to a German NGO (VRD) and to the Goethe Institute in Chennai, to organise in it premises on February 24 2007, a seminar devoted to the “after Tsunami”. This seminar was inaugurated by the French Consul General in Pondicherry and Chennai, and the German Consul in Chennai. The person in charge of the “Tsunami” dossier to the government of Tamil Nadu, was present.
After several interventions on the causes and effects of the Tsunami on the Tamil Nadu coast, a critical debate was opened on rehabilitation measures (material, social, environmental,…) taken in the past 2 years, by the government of India, Tamil Nadu, and different NGOs. Some perspectives – on what should be done…or not be done!- were highlighted.
The debate on the strategies to adopt in the future, was largely echoed by the regional press.
