New Budget announcement from Budget Coordination Committee (BCC)
The BCC announced that the budget for 2019-20 is ready and has been endorsed by the FAMC. 35 new full-time maintenance have been provided. The Auroville City Service contribution to be paid individually has been increased by 5% to Rs. 3,475 but this contribution is automatically waived for Aurovilians receiving a full-time City Service maintenance. Those with a half City Service maintenance will only need to pay half the contribution.
This year, the BCC focused on how to build on the basic Care Package, which includes the Health Fund, Lunch Scheme and In-Kind scheme and made adjustments only in the Cash and Kind amounts.
