Karaikal
Karaikal district (Tamil: காரைக்கால் மாவட்டம்) (also Karikal or Karaikkal) is one of the four districts of the Union Territory of Puducherry in India. Karaikal town (about 16 km north of Nagappattinam and 12 km south of Tarangambadi) is the regional headquarters.
BallotBoxIndia treats a district's development like a shared fund, and every socio-political innovator — leader, NGO, business, expert, journalist, activist — like a contributor whose impact we try to measure. The scores here are an experiment to tell apart what an innovator actually moved (नेता का हाथ · their real contribution) from what circumstance carried (हालात · the wave).
