Like all JNV’s in the country it is based in the countryside but it has an Urban look about it because of its easy accessibility. It has as its neighbour many academic institutions of excellence and industrial units of repute, namely PIMS, Dr. Ambedkar Law College, Pondicherry University , Pondicherry Engineering College , Shasun Drugs & chemicals, Chemfab Alkali Limited.  This Vidyalaya is nestled among a beehive of activities.   The salubrious Coastal climate (the Vidyalaya is about 2 Kms from the sea coast) and the bustling village of Periyakalpet make this vidyalaya a favoured institution for academics and all round development of a child among the local population.
